“…However, both lips are covered by hairy skin with long tactile hairs covering the external superficial surface (Figure 1a-c). A previous study reported that both lips have scattered labial glands in greyblue labial epithelial lining (Taib and Jarrar, 1987).…”

“…Among the identified documents, 2 studies measured salivary calcium and inorganic phosphorus in camels, 16,17 and 11 studies investigated the morphological and histochemical features of the major and/or minor salivary glands. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] Many researchers conducted extensive research on the morphological and histochemical features of the major and/or minor salivary glands of the camel. [18][19][20]22 However, saliva and its constituents, whether organic or inorganic, have only been studied in areas other than dentistry, and the studies themselves have been limited to a small number of salivary components.…”

The aim of this study was to provide insight into the role of camel's saliva in protecting enamel against erosion and to evaluate the levels of salivary sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphate ions among 2 groups of camels, those with low-grade tooth surface loss and those with high-grade tooth surface loss. Twenty-eight healthy camels, 5 males and 23 females, aged 20 months to 10 years, were divided into 2 groups. Group I comprise camels with “low-grade tooth surface loss” and Group 2 with “high-grade tooth surface loss.” Unstimulated saliva was collected by a draining method. The samples were then analyzed for sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphate concentrations using automated chemistry analysis. Data were then statistically analyzed using the unpaired Student's t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient test. The study found the salivary calcium and phosphate concentrations were significantly lower in the “high-grade” erosion group, in comparison with the other group ( P < .0001 and P = .0257, respectively). The results also revealed that the more extensive the tooth surface loss, the more carious lesions the subject had ( P = .023), and that caries are more common in the anterior teeth, particularly the incisors. The authors conclude that alterations in inorganic elements of saliva, particularly the calcium and phosphate ions, play a major role in the development of resistance to tooth surface loss. This work may represent a direction for future research to develop custom-made preventive supplements, which can protect camelid teeth against tooth surface loss.

“…Several histochemical investigations have been carried out on the parotid and mandibular salivary glands of the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius) (Van Lennep, 1957;Fahmy & Dellmann, 1968;Nassar, 1971;Nawar & El-Khaligi, 1975, 1977Abdalla, 1979;Mosallam et al, 1983) and more recently on its minor ones (Taib & Jarrar, 1987;Taib, Jarrar & Shobrak, 1989;. Of these glands, the ventral buccal glands have been little studied (Hegazi, 1949; Van Lennep, 1957;Fahmy & Dellmann, 1968;Hoppe, Kay & Maloiy, 1974) and even these publications are insufficient and highly contradictory.…”

Morphometric, histological and histochemical investigations were carried out on the ventral buccal salivary glands of the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius). The ventral part (inferior molar gland) is composed of serous acini with abundant myoepithelial cells and the dorsal part of the gland comprises mucoserous acini. The serous acini are devoid of any type of mucosubstances while the mucoserous cells of the dorsal part show neutral glycoproteins and sialomucins but neither glycogen nor sulfomucins. The histoenzymological tests employed have detected alkaline phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase, succinic dehydrogenase, non‐specific esterases and α‐amylase but no activities for aminopeptidase, lipase, cholinesterases and β‐glucuronidase.
