Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: The authors measured salivary flow by using a number of known methods and analyzed the co-relations between the methods to find out the most useful salivary flow test method which could be clinically applied.
Methods: To this end, the author selected 90 applicants, of which 30 applicants were teens, 30 were in their 20's/30's and the remaining 30 were in their 50's/60's, and then the author conducted an oral exam and salivary test to the applicants.
Results: The result of the salivary test reveals that the gender does not have influence (p＞0.05). Age was the factor that influences Periotron measurement value, stimulated salivary flow, unstimulated salivary flow, salivary viscosity, moisture paper measurement value among other saliva related values (p＜0.05). There was a valid co-relations (r=0.395) between stimulated salivary flow and Periotron measurement value (p＜0.01). There was a valid co-relations (r=0.395) between stimulated salivary flow and mouth dryness measurement with moisture paper (p＜0.01).
Conclusion: Since it was found that there was a co-relation between stimulated salivary flow and mouth dryness with moisture paper, it can be concluded that mouth dryness can be measured clinically simply with moisture paper.
