Abstract

|
Ninety dental students were examined by Salivary Sucrase Activity Test and by questionnaires about daily smoking and drinking quantity. 0.2g of sucrose was mixed with 2m1 of stimulated saliva and left to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. At the termination of the incubation period a small aliquot of the mixture was transferred on a Glukotest (Boehringer Mannheim GmbH, West Germany) for the determination of the liberated glucose by the color reaction. The color change of the strip was recorded visually. A clear change of color from yellow to green was regarded as a high sucrase activity. The higher sucrase activity, the larger smoking (P=0.020) and drinking (P=0.011) quantity. Salivary sucrase activity had significant positive correlation with smoking quantity (0.2450, P=0.010) and drinking quantity (0.2672, P=0.005).
