“…In disagreement with this study, our results showed that the salivary amylase activity of passive smoking children was found to be statistically higher compared to that in control subjects (Table 3). A study conducted by Avsar et al showed similar results 15 . Under resting conditions without the exogenous stimulation that is linked with feeding, there is a slow flow of saliva which keeps the mouth moist and lubricates the mucous membrane.…”

Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the relationship between passive smoking and salivary biomarkers like pH, buffering capacity and flow rate, sialic acid and amylase levels in children who were passive smokers and compare with the control group. Materials and Methods: Fifty children with history of passive smoking and 50 healthy age matched controls were included in the study. Details on smoking habits of household members, child's dental and dietary habits were collected using a proforma. Saliva samples were collected from both the groups and salivary analysis was done for pH, buffering capacity, flow rate, sialic acid levels and amylase levels. Results:The results of the study showed a lower salivary pH and flow rate with an increase in amylase activity and buffering capacity in passive smoking children when compared to healthy controls. However, sialic acid levels did not show significant differences between passive smoking children and control group. Conclusion: Passive smoking may reduce the protective properties of saliva which can further affect the oral health status of young children and any factor that influences the secretion rate or composition of saliva will ultimately influence caries susceptibility.

“…It has been estimated that approximately 75-89% of Turkish children are exposed to ETS. 3,4 It was demonstrated that young age of the child was significantly associated with higher ETS exposure. Because they spend more time in closer proximity to their smoking parents, and they can not choose whether or not to be in a smoky environment.…”

“…Exposure to ETS prevalence among Turkish adolescents is alarmingly high (89.0%). [1][2][3][4] Children are exposed to tobacco smoke not only in their homes, but also in cars, child care settings, and other public places. However, exposure at home during parental smoking is likely the commonest source of ETS exposure to children.…”

Purpose: To investigate the effect of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) on the testicle functions of 7-10 years old children. Materials and Methods: The study included healthy male children aging between 7-10 years. Based on the questionnaire data, 50 passive smoking (PS) cases and 50 passive smoking free controls were determined. Serum levels of cotinine, and biochemical parameters of the testicle functions; testosterone, inhibin B, anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) along with FSH and LH levels were evaluated. Results: Serum cotinine levels in PS group were found higher than the controls (p<0,05). Testosterone, inhibin-B, FSH, and LH levels of the control group was found higher than the PS group. The AMH levels were found lower in the controls in comparison with the PS group (p<0,05). Conclusions: Our results showed that ETS leads to testicular dysfuntions. We think that preventing exposure to cigarette smoke in childhood is very important for their reproductive system.

“…Because the immunoglobulin levels did not significantly change, after removal of piercings, we may assume that the low IgA, IgG and IgM levels found in the first salivary test are not due to the irritating action of the piercings in the oral site. Perhaps other factors such as cigarette smoke may be the cause of these salivary alterations (21).…”

Inflammatory and Immunitary Modifications in Saliva of Subjects with Labial and Tongue Piercing

The first two authors contributed equally to this work Piercing is the practice of puncturing some parts of the body, including the area of the stomach, to apply ornamental objects. The presence of oral and perioral piercings are a risk factor for numerous acute and chronic complications, such as chipping of the dental enamel, lesions of the gums and infection. The presence of piercings in the oral cavity may also act as a stimulant for inflammation and determine modifications in the components of the saliva. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether there is a variation in the inflammatory or immunitary components of the saliva of adult patients with labial and tongue piercings. Twenty-five adult patients were examined (11 males and 14 females with an average age of 23.4±3.6 years) who had had a minimum of one labial or tongue piercing for at least 1 year. A questionnaire was compiled for each patient and the composition of the saliva was examined, before and for the 72 hours after removal of the piercings. The data was analyzed using the student's r-test for independent samples and the level of significance was placed at p< 0.05. The examination of the saliva showed a statistically significant increase (p< 0.05) of interleukin-l and -8, of lysozyme and amylase. A more basic value of pH (p< 0.05) was also found and a decrease in the immunoglobulins, in particular of IgA (p< 0.05). After the removal of the piercings, the parameters of the saliva returned to the reference values, with the exception of the immunoglobulins, whose values remained the same as in the first saliva examination. The presence of piercings in labial areas or in the tongue is accompanied by chronic inflammation in the components of the saliva, with an increase in the level of the interleukins. Furthermore, in patients who have had an oral piercing for a longer period, the level of interleukins is even higher. This inflammatory situation, however, may recede in a few days after the removal of the irritating agent. Labial or tongue piercings also determine an increase in the flow of saliva, an increase in saliva enzymes, of lysozyme in particular, and a more basic pH value.Body art, that is the art ofpermanently decorating, personalizing and adorning one's body, is an old practice and examples have been found dating back to ancient times (1). Humans have transformed, marked or painted their bodies for an instinctive need to differ from animals. Piercings and tattoos
