It has been scientifically proven that a compound found in blueberries called proanthocyanidin, a high molecular weight polyphenol, has properties that inhibit and prevent the bacterial biofilms responsible for dental plaque, thereby inhibiting the development of pathogenic bacteria that cause periodontal tissue degradation. It also prevents bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans, the causative agent of cavities, from forming acids that weaken dental tissues and facilitate the accommodation of harmful bacteria inside damaged teeth. The study aims to determine the relationship between blueberry consumption and changes in salivary pH in primary school students at the Los Ingenieros Educational Institution, Lima 2022. The study methodology is based on a hypothetical-deductive method, with a quantitative approach and a quasi-experimental design. The study population will consist of 200 students from the Los Ingenieros Educational Institution. The study method will be recorded using data collection forms for processing and obtaining results and hypothesis testing.
