“…19 The use of pH meter as a quantitative measure of saliva buffer capacity, found to be able to reduce the inherited subjective deviation of the colourimetric systems, accordingly, considered as a valid mean in accurate determination of salivary. 20 The results of this study revealed significant increase in dental caries experience of asthmatic children where with the increase in severity of asthma condition, a higher dental caries would be experienced by the asthmatics particularly the primary dentition without significant adverse effect as the children mature. 7 Similar findings were reported by other researchers that children with bronchial asthma found to be at higher risk for increased dental caries.…”

Objectives: To assess the association between different factors in saliva and dental caries experience in children with bronchial asthma. Materials and methods: A total of 60 asthmatic children and 60 healthy controls of both genders with age ranging from 4-to 12-year-old. The asthmatics were grouped according to disease severity into mild, moderate, or severe asthma. All the children were clinically examined to assess their dental caries experience (deft/DMFT), and stimulated saliva samples were collected to measure the saliva pH, flow rate, ά-amylase, and secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA)-level changes. The data were statistically analyzed using the SPSS program (v. 23) to test for significance at p ≤ 0.05. Results: Asthmatic children presented significantly higher deft mean value (6.77 ± 1.69), as well as significantly reduced stimulated saliva flow (0.82 ± 0.2) and sIgA (29.42 ± 6.31) when compared to healthy control. The sIgA of asthmatics showed statistically significant negative correlation with deft and DMFT. Severe asthmatics presented significantly the lowest sIgA mean level (23.61 ± 5.33) and the most reduced saliva flow rate (0.64 ± 0.20). Conclusion:The reduction in saliva flow rate and secretory immunoglobulin A render asthmatic children more prone to increased dental caries progression mainly of primary dentition.

Xerostomia is subjective feeling of dry mouth. It is complicated and multifactorial, which burdens clinicians in diagnosis and treatment of the problem. The goal of this study was to discuss the clinical importance of salivary flow rate, pH and subjective symptoms for evaluating oral dryness among young healthy male subjects. Methods: Methods: Thirty male participants were recruited in this study (mean age±standard deviation of 25.70±1.84). All participants completed 'Xerostomia Inventory' to measure subjective oral dryness scores. Unstimulated saliva and stimulated saliva were collected from each participant twice a day at 12:00 pm and 5:00 pm, using spitting method. Salivary flow rates and pH were measured immediately after collection. Relationship between objective and subjective measurements were analyzed.Results: Results: There were excellent intra-examiner reliability for salivary flow rate and pH and good internal consistency for Xerostomia Inventory. Objective measurements and subjective symptoms did not exhibit positive association. Salivary flow rate in unstimulated and stimulated condition showed positive association and also for salivary pH. Stimulated salivary flow rate also presented positive correlation with stimulated salivary pH. Conclusions: Conclusions:Comprehensive assessment of objective measurements and subjective symptoms may be complimentary for assessing oral dryness, which would assist in implementing early interventions to improve patient's quality of life.

Aim To investigate the changes of salivary flow rate and salivary pH of Syrian children with mixed dentition following application of Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP). Methods This study is part of a double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial. It included 50 children aged 6–8 who were randomly divided into two treatment groups to receive either CPP-ACP GC Tooth Mousse™ (Group A) or placebo (Group B) with 25 participants per group. After the application of the product in the mouth for 3 min, saliva samples were collected four times (T0, T1, T2, and T3) to measure salivary pH and the rate of salivary flow. Results There was no significant difference between group A and B in the mean value of salivary flow rate (t = 1.08, P = 0.28, 0.57 ± 0.28 versus 0.56 ± 0.38 respectively) and salivary pH (t = 0.61, P = 0.54, 7.28 ± 0.44 versus 7.25 ± 0.36 respectively). However, there was a significant difference between different time points (T0, T1, T2, and T3) in the mean value of salivary flow rate (0.41 ± 0.30, 0.65 ± 0.36, 0.53 ± 0.28, and 0.56 ± 0.34 respectively) and salivary pH (6.99 ± 0.44, 7.46 ± 0.36, 7.36 ± 0.32, and 7.26 ± 0.32 respectively). Conclusion The application of the GC Tooth Mouse (CPP-ACP) was similar to placebo in increasing the salivary pH and salivary flow rate. Trial registration ISRCTN17509082, Registration date 22/11/2022.
