<p><em>P</em><em>laque accumulation on tooth surfaces associated with plaque pH and saliva pH. A decrease in the pH plaque and pH saliva will continually cause demineralization. One effort to prevent the plaque accumulation by consuming fruits. Infused water is a preparation made from the extract of fruits in mineral water.</em><em>P</em><em>urpose of this study to investigate the effect of consuming red grape (Vitis Vinifera) infused water to the plaque pH and salivary pH. Research design was a quasi-experimental design with pre-post test control group. Research conducted </em><em>16 </em><em>on students Orphanage Aisyiyah</em><em> as sample and </em><em>simple random sampling </em><em>as saple collection. Sampes was instructed to consume red grape infused water and saliva pH and plaque pH were counted before and after consuming red grape infused water. </em><em>Data were analyzed with paired sample test with significance level of 5%.The results showed </em><em>mean of </em><em>plaquepH before </em><em>and after </em><em>consuming red grape infused water is 6.04 and 7.06. The study also found </em><em>mean </em><em>salivapH before</em><em> and after </em><em> consuming red grape infused water is 6.01 and 7.26.Paired samples get significant value of p &lt;0.05 (ρ = 0.001 plaque pH and saliva pH ρ = 0.002. The conclusion of this study, there are significant effect of consuming red grape infused water to enhancement of plaque pH and salivary pH</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p> </p>
