Parotid saliva flow rate, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium concentrations in relation to dental caries experience in children.

چکیده
Flow rate, Ca, P, and Mg concentrations were measured in resting parotid saliva collected from 207 children (mean age 8.96 years) in relation to dental caries experience. DMFS values were one-third higher in boys than in girls, and this increase was accompanied by significantly lowered Ca (P < 0.01) and P (P < 0.05) concentrations in saliva. With all subjects divided into two DMFS groups, both P and Ca were decreased in the high DMFS group; the 9% decrease in Ca level was not significant.

Can salivary composition and high flow rate explain the low caries rate in children with familial dysautonomia?
PURPOSE Extremely low caries rate and increased major salivary gland flow rare have been previously reported in children with familial dysautonomia (FD). The purpose of this study was to explore the possibility that, in addition to increased salivary flow, children with FD have alterations in their salivary components, which may suggest an explanauon to their low caries rate. METHODS Whole un...

متن کاملQuantitative Determination of Inorganic Constituents in Saliva and their Relationship with Dental Caries Experience in Children
Background: Saliva is one of the most important factor in regulating oral health, with flow rate and composition changing throughout development and during disease. Saliva can affect incidence of dental caries in four general ways, firstly as a mechanical cleansing, secondly by reducing enamel solubility by means of calcium, phosphate and fluoride, thirdly by buffering and neutralizing the acid...
