Rheological properties of saliva substitutes containing mucin, carboxymethylcellulose or polyethylenoxide

Abstract: Apparent viscosities at different shear rates were measured for 3 types of saliva substitutes: (a) mucin‐containing saliva; (b) substitutes based upon carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and (c) solution of polyethylenoxide (PEO). The apparent viscosities were compared with those of human whole saliva. Human whole saliva and mucin‐containing saliva substitutes appeared to be similar in their rheological properties. Both types of solution are viscoelastic solutions and adjust their apparent viscosities to their biolo… Show more

“…With ceramic, it was the opposite, and there were no significant differences with stainless steel crowns. It has been stated that mucin-based substitutes (e.g., Mouth Kote®) possess lubricating qualities comparable to human saliva (16). Our results indicate that that may be true with ceramic and stainless steel, but not with denture teeth.…”

“…Corroborating this view are several in vitro studies that have examined the properties of salivary substitutes that contain mucin as well as a recent clinical trial in which the efficacy of a mucin containing artificial saliva was evaluated. Both the viscosity 42 and wetting properties 43 of salivary substitutes augmented with animal mucins more closely approximated for values obtained for the human salivary secretions. In a double-blind crossover clinical trial it was determined that a salivary substitute that contained animal mucin was found to be significantly better at relieving the subjective clinical complaints of xerostomia.…”

“…No estudo de Thomsom et al 15 , é relatado que pacientes com alterações psiquiátricas que fazem uso deste fármaco queixam-se de boca seca. Ainda com relação ao aparecimento deste achado, é sabido que as glândulas submandibulares e sublinguais são responsáveis pela produção de mucina, produto responsável por promover a sensação de lubrificação da mucosa [16][17] . Foi constatado que a glândula submandibular mostra-se mais susceptível às perturbações causadas pelos medicamentos 18 .…”
