First group was treated by chewing 50 grams of apple after eating chocolate flavored biscuits, second group was treated by chewing 50 grams of pear after eating chocolate flavored biscuits and third group was treated by eating chocolate flavored biscuits without chewing any fruits, then crossover. Dental plaque score was measured using PHP-M index from Martens and Meskin which was done before and after treatment. Data of dental plaque score then analyzed using One Way ANOVA and Post-Hoc LSD (Least Significant Difference) (p0,05). Results and Discussions: The results showed differences of mean and standard deviation score of dental plaque before and after chewing apple by 17,45±1,95; chewing pear by 11,58±1,90; consuming biscuits without chewing fruits by 2,91±1,24. The result of one-way ANOVA analysis showed there were significant differences in all groups (p<0,05).
