Effect of childhood malnutrition on salivary flow and pH

Abstract: Introduction-While protein-energy malnutrition may have multiple effects on oral tissues and subsequent disease development, reports of the effect of malnutrition on the human salivary glands are sparse.

“…Hypofunctioning of the salivary glands has been reported with PEM, which results in a decreased salivary flow rate, a decreased buffering capacity, and decreased salivary constituents, particularly proteins [1,7]. PEM and vitamin A deficiency are associated with salivary gland atrophy, which subsequently reduces the defence capacity of the oral cavity against infection and its ability to buffer the plaque acids.…”

“…PEM and vitamin A deficiency are associated with salivary gland atrophy, which subsequently reduces the defence capacity of the oral cavity against infection and its ability to buffer the plaque acids. Navia states 'moderate malnutrition, particularly a lack of protein and deficiencies of certain micronutrients such as vitamins, zinc and iron, can influence the amount and the composition of the saliva, thus limiting the protective effects that it has in the oral cavity [7].…”

“…Los resultados obtenidos en este estudio pueden haber sido afectados por algunos de ellos y por ende, influenciado los valores obtenidos. Por ejemplo, el método de la estimulación salival mecánica mediante la masticación es el de mayor uso para el estudio del flujo salival (12) . Sin embargo, en el presente estudio el haber al utilizado parafina vegetal, inerte y sin sabor, no estimula los receptores gustativos y olfativos, lo que podría influenciar negativamente el volumen salival obtenido.…”

“…De esta manera el paciente al ejercer fuerza masticatoria sobre éste, los vectores de fuerza hacia arriba y adelante de los músculos maseteros, temporal y pterigoideo medial, generan una carga reversible sobre la ATM (11) . Confeccionado el dispositivo y antes de su uso, en cada individuo se midió el flujo salival no Estimulado y Estimulado, usando el protocolo del Departamento de Cariología de la Universidad de Malmo, Suecia (12) y clasificado según el programa Cariograma (13) . Inmediatamente obtenida la muestra salival, se obtuvo un valor de pH utilizando un electrodo (pH electrode 0-14 pH, 0-90ºC -PE-149G), conectado a un potenciómetro (GOnDO Bench Top pH-mV-Temperature Meter -PL-600Lab) calibrado al inicio de cada sesión, usando las soluciones estándar de pH 4.0 y 7.0.…”
