To determine the average salivary flow rates and total protein concentrations in a population of the State of Mexico.A gravimetric and spectrophotometric analysis was applied to 120 subjects in total resting and stimulated whole saliva and results were correlated with the DMFT and CPITN indexes.Subjects allowed average salivary flow rate (ml/min +/- SD). in non-stimulated human whole saliva (HWS) of 0.397 +/- .26 and in stimulated HWS of 0.973 +/- .53. Average protein concentration was (mg/ml +/- SD) 1.374 +/- .45 in non-stimulated HWS and 1.526 +/- .44 in stimulated HWS. Females showed a lower percentage of salivary flow and greater protein concentrations. No correlations were observed between flow and total protein concentration, and DMFT and CPITN; however, correlations were present with other variables.These findings could be associated to degree of nutrition, genetic characteristics and level of oral disease in our population. Present results represent the first step to create a database in sialochemistry to identify risk indicators of specific oral and systemic diseases. |
