2. 1. Unstimulated human whole saliva flow rate in relation to hyposalivation and dental caries

   Author : Håkan Flink; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Dental caries; iron deficiency; serum ferritin; unstimulated whole saliva; resting saliva; xerostomia; dry mouth; circadian rhythm.;

   Abstract : Introduction: Salivary secretion is influenced by a large number of factors, including the circadian rhythm, making the detection of reduced salivary flow (hyposalivation) difficult. This is important since severely reduced salivary secretion has been associated with an increased risk for dental caries and may be a sign of a general disease, e.g. READ MORE

4. 2. Studies on the prevalence of reduced salivary flow rate in relation to general health and dental caries, and effect of iron supplementation

   Author : Håkan Flink; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Unstimulated whole saliva; stimulated whole saliva; resting saliva; xerostomia; dry mouth; hyposalivation; caries; remaining teeth; body mass index; iron deficiency; serum ferritin; circadian rhythm;

   Abstract : Background: Reduced salivary flow is a condition that affects oral health. Its prevalence is unknown in young and middle-aged adults and there is no known treatment that permanently increases the salivary flow rate. Reduced salivary flow is related to dental caries, the most common oral disease. READ MORE

5. 3. On Minor Salivary Gland Secretion
