Aim: To assess the salivary flow rate [SFR] and pH in patients with potentially malignant disorders and oral cancer. Materials and Method: Salivary samples were collected from 15 healthy individuals and 15 patients with potentially malignant disorders and oral cancer (5 patients with Leukoplakia, 5 patients with Oral Submucous Fibrosis, 5 patients with Oral Cancer). Unstimulated whole saliva (UWS) was collected using the spitting method. The salivary flow rat [SFR] was evaluated with the micro pipetting technique and a portable pH meter, equipped with a microelectrode, was used to measure pH. The results were tabulated and statistically analyzed. Results: The data analysis showed that FR and pH showed statistical significant differences (p < 0.005) between patients with potentially malignant disorders and oral cancer (FR = 0.34 mL/min, pH = 6.85) and the patients without oral lesions (FR = 0.61 mL/min, pH = 7.09). Conclusion: In our study, there is a relationship between potentially malignant disorders, oral cancer and alteration of pH and SFR. Due to tobacco habits either smoke or smokeless forms can cause alterations in tobacco users which render oral mucosa vulnerable to various oral and dental diseases. Reduced Salivary flow rate and pH has a correlation with potentially malignant disorders and oral cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
