DENTAL CARIES ACTIVITY, AND THE pH, TITRATABLE ALKALINITY, AND RATE OF FLOW OF HUMAN PAROTID SALIVA

HAROLD R. ENGLANDER D.D.S., M.P.H.,1, LOUIS M. MAU B.S.1, KIRK C. HOERMAN D.D.S., M.S.1, and HOWARD H. CHAUNCEY PH.D.1

1 The Dental Research Facility, United States Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, Ill., and Department of Dental Research, Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, Boston, Mass.

The pH, titratable alkalinity, and rate of flow of the parotid salivas from 30 caries-free males and 52 with rampant-caries were determined under standard conditions of collection. No differences in pH, titratable alkalinity, and rate of flow existed between these two extreme groups.

Parotid saliva specimens were collected from each of 5 subjects using varying degrees of stimulation which produced different rates of flow. In all cases, both titratable alkalinity and pH varied directly with rate of flow. Titratable alkalinity increased at a rate characteristic for each person studied.
