    The objective of this research was to determine the salivary pH in patients with and without periodontitis treated at the Dental Clinic of the Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener – Lima 2019. The sample size was determined by sample calculation, consisting of 110 patients, 55 with periodontitis and 55 without periodontitis. The salivary pH was measured by placing pH indicator strips on the floor of the mouth for 5 seconds, and identifying the pH based on the color observed, compared with the manufacturer's reference. The results showed that patients with periodontitis had a salivary pH of 6.25 ± 0.52, while those without periodontitis had a pH of 6.44 ± 0.81. Patients with mild periodontitis had a salivary pH of 6.28 ± 0.46, those with moderate periodontitis had a pH of 6.31 ± 0.60, and patients with severe periodontitis had a pH of 6.00 ± 0.00. Men with periodontitis had a salivary pH of 6.24 ± 0.50, while women had a pH of 6.27 ± 0.55. Men without periodontitis had a salivary pH of 6.67 ± 0.59, while women had a pH of 6.32 ± 0.88. It was concluded that there is no statistically significant difference in the salivary pH between patients with and without periodontitis.
