CHLORIDE LEVELS IN PAROTID SECRETION

WILLIAM J. CARTER D.D.S., M.S.1, HAROLD R. ENGLANDER D.D.S., M.P.H.1, and THOMAS B. WEBER PH.D.1

The chloride levels in the parotid salivas of 41 relatively caries-free and 50 caries-rampant males were compared. The mean chloride concentration was significantly greater in the caries-rampant group, but the high frequency of individual overlapping between the two groups ruled out the possibility of using this as a test for caries activity. For a given individual, chloride ion concentration showed a positive correlation with parotid saliva flow rate. The mean parotid flow rates for 5-minute periods of stimulation were the same in individuals with extreme differences in dental caries experience.
