This type of observational analytic study is Case control design. A sample of 64 subjects, divided into 2 case and control groups. Case groups are people who are members of the Methadone Maintenance Therapy Program at the Gedongtengen Health Center in Yogyakarta. Saliva pH measuring instrument is a pH strip. Test the relationship between salivary pH and DMFT using the Spearman rank test. The results showed that the average DMF-T in the case group was 8.4, higher than the control group 2.1 while the saliva pH of the PTRM group in the acid category (5.8) was lower than the control group with a neutral pH category (6.6).
