“…The authors attribute this protective effect to sodium [Kwon et al, 2009]. It is known that the concentration of chloride in saliva is related to the concentration of sodium [Ferguson et al, 1973]. Both concentrations are also related to salivary flow rate.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between several parameters of saliva and erosive wear in adolescents. (Un-)stimulated saliva was collected from 88 adolescents with erosion and 49 controls (age 16 ± 1 years). Flow rate, pH and buffer capacity were determined immediately. Total protein content, carbonic anhydrase VI, amylase, albumin, calcium, phosphate, urea, sodium, chloride and potassium were measured at a later time. Unstimulated flow rate was found to be significantly lower in subjects with erosive wear (p = 0.016). The chloride concentration in unstimulated saliva was found to be significantly higher in the erosion group (p = 0.019).

“…1.0mM (Windeler & Shannon, 1966;Dawes, 1969; Ahrens & Lucke, 1972;Ferguson et al, 1973) and the amount of non-ultrafiltrable calcium has been estimated to be 0.33mm (Grbn, 1973a). The ultrafiltrable calcium in saliva is ionized or forms ion pairs, and saliva is highly saturated with respect to calcium phosphate, which is considered to be important in the formation of dental calculus and remineralization of dental enamel (Gron, 1973b).…”

“…In the present study we observe that variations in agglutinin titers are larger in women, but since no systemati cal variations are recognized during men strual cycles there is at least no simple way of relating these variations to the titers of the female sex hormones. When variations of secretion rates follow regular patterns [Ferguson et al, 1973] the concentrations can be estimated after standardization of sampling technique. The titers of the sali vary agglutinin studied do not seem to fol low a regular pattern.…”
