Correlation Between Dental Caries With Salivary Flow, Ph, and Buffering Capacity in Adult South Indian Population: An in-Vivo Study

Abstract: Aim of the study is to evaluate the correlation between dental caries and salivary flow, pH and buffering capacity in young adult South Indian population. According to DMFT scores eighty subjects between 20 to 30 years of age were divided into four groups. Saliva samples collected were estimated for salivary flow, pH and buffering capacity and the data was statistically analysed. The pH, flow rate, buffering capacity showed a steady decrease with an increase in the DMFT values; which was statistically signific… Show more

“…The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of green tea mouth rinse and combination mouth rinse (0.05% sodium fluoride, 0.03% triclosan, 5% xylitol) on salivary pH post sugar exposure in children. Salivary pH is one of the key indicators of carious process (Shetty, Hegde, Devadiga & Shetty, 2013). The pH of saliva at rest ranges between 6.5 -7.0 (mean pH -6.8).…”

“…The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of green tea and black tea as mouthrinse on salivary pH after sugary soft drink consumption in children. Salivary pH was one of the key indicators of carious process [8]. Low salivary pH promoted the growth of acidogenic bacteria as a pathological factor for dynamic imbalance of demineralization and remineralization dental hard surface.…”
