Pengaruh paparan radiasi dental panoramik digital terhadap aktivitas kerja enzim amilase telah diteliti pada air liur 20 pasien yang menderita penyakit gigi dan mulut. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis pengaruh dosis Power of Hydrogen (pH) saliva, hubungan perubahan pH saliva saliva. Akumulasi ekivalen diterima diukur menggunakan Dosimeter Digital Aloka PDM-127. Derajat keasaman sebelum set...

To analyze the effect of two mouthwashes on salivary pH and correlate it with age, buffer capacity and saliva flow rate in healthy volunteers, a crossover phase IV clinical study involving three age-based groups was designed. Two commercial mouthwashes (MW), Cool Mint ListerineR (MWa) and Periobacter R (MWb) were used. The unstimulated saliva of each individual was first characterized by measur...

Ammonia concentrations in exhaled breath (eNH3) and skin gas of 20 healthy subjects were measured on-line with a commercial cavity ring-down spectrometer and compared to saliva pH and plasma ammonium ion (NH(+)4), urea and creatinine concentrations. Special attention was given to mouth, nose and skin sampling procedures and the accurate quantification of ammonia in humid gas samples. The obtain...

Alterations in salivary parameters may increase the caries risk in diabetic children, but, contradictory data on this issue have been reported. The aims of this study were to compare salivary parameters (flow rate, pH and calcium concentration) between healthy and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) individuals. The sample consisted of 7- to 18-year-old individuals divided into two groups: 30 subje...

Objectives There are inconsistent data about the association between saliva properties, dental caries, and periodontal status. In this study, we tried to examine the association between dental caries and periodontal status with salivary viscosity, flow rate, pH, and buffering capacity in adults. Methods In the present cross-sectional study, 450 female teachers were randomly selected from scho...

Stress-related variations of fluoride concentration in supernatant saliva and salivary sediment, salivary cortisol, total protein and pH after acute mental stress were assessed. The hypothesis was that stress reactions have no influence on these parameters. Thirty-four male students were distributed into two groups: first received the stress exposure followed by the same protocol two weeks late...

Although aluminum itself was reported to prevent dental caries, previous in vitro studies reported that the aluminum level in the whole saliva of children was independent of caries prevalence. Purposes of this study were to compare the elution levels of aluminum and calcium from deciduous enamel into acidic artificial saliva, and determine whether the degree of aluminum elution reflects individ...

118 dentistry students were studied to show the possible correlation between ph, concentration of ca2+, p3+, na+, and k+ of saliva and decay, missing, and filling tooth (dmft index). candidates were between 20 and 30 years old and had no background systemic disorders; medial and dental histories, age, sex, and dmft index were recorded in a questionnaire organized for this purpose. saliva sample...

Lavy, E. 244 INTRODUCTION Dental disorders as gingivitis, periodontal diseases and calculus formation are prevalent among dogs regardless of their breed, as they are common in human. Gingivitis and periodontitis are prevalent in 82% of dogs aged 6 to 8 years of age and in 96% of dogs aged 12 to 14 years (1, 2). The incidence of dental disorders increases with age (3). Similarly, in humans, the ...

The presence of hyaluronan (HA), hyaluronidase and hyaluronidase inhibitors has been assayed in pure resting and stimulated parotid saliva and also in resting and stimulated mixed saliva utilizing an ELISA-type assay and its modifications. Results confirmed the presence of hyaluronan in all saliva specimens which generally decreased upon stimulation. Hyaluronan in parotid saliva was of high mol...
