“…The salivary flow rate, circadian differences in salivary flow rate and liquid consumption also have an impact on oral health [15,52] and general health [52]. In the present study, the volume of saliva secreted by healthy men with a daily liquid consumption between 1 and 4 liters during the day was within the physiological range of 0.62 ± 0.37 g/min.…”

“…Upon the release of glandular secretions into the oral cavity, the fluid is further mixed with a variety of cellular and exogenous components to ultimately form whole saliva. Whole saliva naturally acts as a solvent and carrier for topically applied fluoride ions that enhance the remineralization process for eroded and carious enamel and dentin [14][15][16].…”

AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the influence of acute stress on salivary fluoride bioavailability. Acute psychological stress was induced using a standardized model of public speaking. The saliva of male subjects was collected before and after the public speaking task and immediately, 10, 30, and 120 minutes after tooth brushing according to the Bass method with a dentifrice containing amine fluoride (AmF) or oral hygiene tablets containing sodium fluoride (NaF). Subjective psychological responses to public speaking were evaluated using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Saliva cortisol levels were analyzed as an objective stress marker. The saliva secretion rate was measured both before and after public speaking. Saliva fluoride content was measured. Group comparisons were calculated using a univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA). In all analyses, the alpha-level was set at 0.05. Public speaking significantly increased state anxiety (p<0.001) and salivary cortisol concentrations (p<0.001). Acute stress did not influence salivary secretion rates. In the AmF group, stressed individuals exhibited statistically significant (p=0.044) lower fluoride concentration in saliva compared with the nonstressed subjects Acute psychological stress reactions do not cause hyposalivation but decrease fluoride bioavailability after using a dentifrice containing AmF. Fluoride bioavailability during acute stress is dependent on fluoride formulation.

“…However, Sjögren syndrome, radiotherapy, medication and aging are associated with xerostomia, also termed dry mouth disease [5]. The production of saliva can drop to almost zero, provoking multiple and severe symptoms such as mucositis, dysesthesia, and deep caries lesions [6,7]. Xerostomia necessitates the use of extra lubricants, commonly termed artificial saliva.…”

“…The salivary proteins (amylase, lipase, proteases, nucleases, mucins and gustin) act assisting in the digestive process, with antibacterial properties for hydrolysis of cellular membranes (lactoferrin, lysozyme and lactoperoxidase) besides inhibiting the adherence of microorganisms (immunoglobulins) [7].…”
