Saliva stimulation and caries prevention.

摘要: The protective role of saliva is demonstrated by the rampant caries seen in human subjects with marked salivary hypofunction, and desalivated animals. In normal cases, however, relationship between flow coronal or root experience doubtful, to examine concept that stimulation might have effects against caries, one must look beyond a simple correlation rate. Protective properties which increase on include clearance, buffering power, degree saturation respect tooth mineral. These benefits are maximized when stimulated after consumption fermentable carbohydrates, reducing fall plaque pH leading demineralization increasing potential for remineralization. Plaque acid production neutralized, experimental lesions enamel remineralized, gum chewed stimulate carbohydrate intake. pH-raising more easily explained action than clearance carbohydrates. remineralization depends upon presence fluoride. findings suggest actions can be mobilized appropriate stimulation, addition established procedures such as cleaning fluoride regimens, eating patterns lead protection included recommendations prevention. Confirmation this clinical tests required.
