“…Other studies showed that patients having dental erosions presented separated crystals in the form of a branch or stem, placed relatively evenly over the whole surface of the dried droplet or a large amount of separated stellate crystals of an oval and irregular shape located isometrically. 35 The major components of the varnish that we tested were casein phosphopeptide, calcium phosphate, amorphous calcium phosphate and fluoride. They can contribute to increase the remineralising potential of saliva and to arrest the erosive effect.…”

The aim of the study is to assess the action of a remineralizing product (calcium-phosphatefluoride-based varnish) on the saliva remineralization capacity on patients having dental erosions caused by frequent wine consumption. Methodology: The study group was made up of 15 patients who are frequent wine consumers. Unstimulated saliva was collected on the same day and at the same hour for each patient. A total amount of 0.5 ml of unstimulated saliva was placed on a glass plate, dried for 30 minutes in a thermostat at +37˚C, and then studied using a Nikon Eclipse E 600. The images were saved and stored on a computer. The IMK index was determined using the formula: IMK= number of the network areas filled with crystals/ number of the network areas projected on the entire saliva drop. The treatment plan for each patient included a five-week application of MI Varnish (GC Corporation) once a week. After 5 weeks IMK values were recorded again. Results: The mean value of IMK increased from 0.33 before treatment to 0.83 after treatment. The distribution of micro-crystallization categories varied from 86% Type II before treatment to 93% Type I after treatment. Conclusions: The fluor local treatment that uses varnishes containing casein phosphopeptide, tri-calcium phosphate, amorphous calcium phosphate and fluoride, increase the saliva remineralising potential and can be recommended both as preventive therapy and to counteract the erosive effect of acid oral environment on patients with dental erosions related to the frequent consumption of wine. Local treatment with GC Recaldent MI Varnish increased the remineralizing potential of saliva on patients with dental erosions due to wine consumption.

“…Also, lower buffering capacity, salivary flow rate, and pH were found in the GERD group compared to healthy controls [11]. Spinei et al [12] reported that the degree of micro-crystallization of saliva was substantially decreased and lower in children suffering from GERD when compared with healthy control group. The researchers stated that examination of the structural properties of a dried oral liquid drop in children with reflux disease revealed the markers of changes in the oral cavity.…”

Dentistry is a branch of medicine that focuses on the health status of the oral cavity, it also strongly integrates with other areas of medicine, as the health of the oral cavity may influence the health condition of other organs of the body. The gastrointestinal system, in particular, can be influenced by the oral cavity, as the oral cavity serves as an initial entrance to the gastrointestinal tract. Oral and gastrointestinal diseases can affect each other. The major role of the oral cavity is biting, chewing and mixing of food particles with saliva to form 'bolus' ready for swallowing and passing through the pharynx and the esophagus to the stomach. Dentists and gastroenterologists anticipated to recognize and diagnose oral and gastric conditions associated with gastrointestinal system beginning from the oral cavity. The aim of the current review is to describe the oral manifestations of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases which are important in the screening of GI disorders which may otherwise be undiagnosed. The review includes peptic ulcer diseases, gastroesophageal reflux disease, coeliac disease, Inflammatory bowel diseases and syndromes affecting both the GI system and oral cavity.

“…Some authors believe that this is due to the physicochemical characteristics of saliva (amount of protein, viscosity, pH) [8,13]. According to many studies, the very phenomenon of facies formation, as well as the diversity of its structure, is based on complex molecular and physical mechanisms [14][15][16]. The increase in the number of protein components and the decrease in the viscosity of the oral fluid causes a violation of the structure of the crystals, thickening of the main trunks and processes, as well as the formation of many irregular crystallization centers or their complete absence.…”

Introduction. Oral fluid is involved in maintaining the homeostasis of hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity. Therefore, it can indicate the changes in both the local environment and the whole organism. Recently, the crystallographic features of oral fluid have been actively studied. Therefore, this paper is devoted to the possibility of using crystallographic patterns of oral fluid for the early diagnosis of periodontal diseases in young people under 30 years of age.
