“…Two hours before collection, the participants were asked to refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, and brushing teeth to obtain a relatively constant baseline. The resting saliva was collected before the stimulated one using the passive drool method as described earlier (21). The salivary flow rate (mL min -1 ) was calculated from the saliva volume collected over that one minute and divided in three categories: very low (<0.1 mL min -1 , as a diagnostic criterion for hyposalivation), low (0.1-0.2 mL min -1 ), and normal (>0.2 mL min -1 ) (19).…”

CD14 is a co-receptor involved in the recognition of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, the latter known to cause dental caries. The aim of this study was to determine whether soluble CD14 (sCD14) in saliva was associated with caries activity and the collection method from the saliva. The study included 55 participants aged 20 to 40 years, 30 with dental caries and 25 caries-free controls. We collected 110 saliva samples in total, 55 of resting saliva and 55 of mechanically stimulated saliva. Median levels of sCD14, measured with a matrix-matched enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), were higher in the caries-active than in the caries-free group in either resting (203.3 vs.167.9 ng mL ; P<0.01). Hyposalivation was observed only in the caries-active group (10 and 13 % in stimulated and resting saliva, respectively). Higher salivary sCD14 levels and secretion rates were clearly associated with dental caries and resting saliva. Future studies should focus on the clinical utility of salivary sCD14 as a potential biomarker and predictor of future caries events.

“…The problem is, however, that the methods of saliva collection are not standardised (20)(21)(22), which may affect findings and interpretation. Recently, sCD14 was proposed as a salivary marker of inflammation in early childhood caries (23).…”

“…Unstimulated saliva (WUS) was taken during five minutes in standardized conditions between 9:00 and 11:00, prior to which patients did not eat, drink, clean their teeth, or smoked for at least two hours (22). Saliva flow rate was expressed in millilitres per minute.…”

Background and purpose: The purposes of this study were to analyse the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions with an emphasis on oral regions and possible predictors for their occurrence among removable prosthesis wearers. night (p<0.001, OR 13.01; smoking (p=0.033, OR 4.532; OR 5.874;. The occurrence of tongue lesions was linked to age (p=0.042, OR 1.135;. Materials and methods: Conclusions:Increased care and frequent follow-ups need to be implemented among denture prosthesis wearers that are male, elderly, smokers, who wear prosthesis at night and patients with older prosthesis in order to diagnose and cure oral mucosal lesions in time.

Objectives. Compare the total salivary Streptococci and Lactobacilli counts in cle and noncle children with differing caries experiences, correlate the bacterial counts with dm/DMFT status and identify the different biotypes of Mutans Streptococci (MS). Patients. Group I included thirty subjects with dental caries (DC) and cle lip and palate (CL/P); Group II had thirty subjects with DC but without CL/P. Group III comprised a control of thirty subjects with neither DC nor CL/P. Methodology. Enumeration of total salivary Streptococci and Lactobacilli was done by the plate count method and correlation of counts with dm/ DMFT status examined. Differences in biochemical reactions were used to identify the biotypes. Results. Streptococci colonies in CL/P children with caries (64.30 ± 24.52) was signi�cantly higher than in children with no CL/P or caries (45.57 ± 16.73). No signi�cant differences in the Lactobacilli count were observed. dm/DMFT status and Streptococci counts showed a strong positive correlation whereas Lactobacilli counts showed a moderate correlation. S. mutans was the predominant biotype. Conclusions. Higher total salivary Streptococci and Lactobacilli counts exist in cle subjects with caries than in the non-cle subjects. Positive correlation between dm/DMFT scores and salivary Streptococci reinforces its role in DC. S. mutans and S. sobrinus are the biotypes more frequently associated with dental caries in children.
