“…An acidic stomach may develop peptic ulcers, according to the research of Boccardo and Betancor. [13] Following injections of histamine subcutaneously, they measured the amount of gastric juice produced in dentate and edentate rats. Pre and post-histamine stimulation, the volume and acidity of secretion in participants with recently removed teeth was at least 35% larger (15 to 30 days previously).…”

Objective: This mini review intended to study association between tooth loss and gastrointestinal disorders. Data Sources: There was a manual search of major journals and references in the reference list as well as electronic databases such as Springer Link, Science Direct, and PubMed. Duration: January 2000 and December 2021 Methods and Results: A total of 116 papers covering 17 categories of decontamination procedures were included in this evaluation. Among the decontamination techniques used were coatings, mechanical cleaning, laser treatment and photodynamic therapy, as well as air polishing and anodizing. Other techniques included radiation, sonication and thermal treatment. Biofilm generation and decontamination on titanium implants may be prevented and eliminated using most of the disinfection techniques studied. For future study in the creation of novel dental implants and decontamination processes, this narrative systematic review gives a description of methodologies. Keywords: Tooth loss, gastrointestinal diseases, chewing efficiency, nutritional intake and nutrition are some of the topics covered in this article.

Experiments were performed to examine the relationship between the particle size of chitin and its digestibility in the small insectivorous prosimian Galago senegalensis. In the first set of experiments, four animals were fed a 25% chitin diet with the chitin particles less than or equal to 60mesh (0.250 mm maximum diameter). On average, the animals digested 22.5 -+ 2.2 percent of the ingested chitin. In the second set of experiments, the four animals were fed a 25% chitin diet with the chitin particles ground to S 4 0 -and 245-mesh (between 0.425 and 0.325 mm). On average, the animals digested 2.75 -t 1.38 percent of the ingested chitin. There was no significant variation between the performance of any of the animals on either the 60-or 40-45-mesh trials. In all instances, however, each animal digested significantly more of the 60-mesh chitin and the 40-45-mesh chitin.These experiments demonstrate the importance of masticatory efficiency among small mammals for improving the digestibility of foods such as insects which contain high proportions of chitin. They also suggest why insectivorous and folivorous primates have certain convergent dental specializations for finely grinding their foods. Both leaves and insects contain relatively indigestible structural carbohydrates. These substances are much more completely digested when the surface area to volume ratio of the swallowed material is increased. The masticatory efficiency of frugivorous primates is much lower since the constituents of these foods are relatively completely digested irrespective of the fineness of grinding.Recently, it has been shown that insectivorous primates masticate their foods more efficiently than do comparable sized frugivorous species (Sheine and Kay, '77). It was suggested that this provided more surface area for the action of digestive enzymes and enhanced the assimilation of chitin, a major component of insect exoskeletons. To confirm this hypothesis there must be evidence that there are chitinolytic enzymes in these species and that the digestibility of chitin increases as its surface-area to volume ratio is increased. The first of these requirements has been met. Beerton-Joly e t al. ('74) showed that there is a strong chitinolytic activity in the AM. J. PHYS, ANTHROP. (1979) 50: 301-308
