THE INDEPENDENCE OF CARIES EXPERIENCE AND SALIVARY TRYPTOPHANE CONTENT

MAURICE V. STACK 1

1 Department of Dental Medicine, Guy's Hospital, London, England

1. The total salivary tryptophane level in 145 individuals was estimated by reaction with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde in strongly acid solution.

2. A mean value of 23 ± 8 (standard deviation) µg per milliliter was observed, the distribution being abnormal in that there were comparatively few central values.

3. No correlation between DMF counts and salivary tryptophaime could be proved for the fifty-five cases in the main group, whether or not allowance was made for the present susceptibility or rate of salivary flow.
