SALIVARY OXIDATION-REDUCTION POTENTIALS

D. H. NORMAN 1 and G. H. TUCKER 1

1 School Dental Service, Middlesex County Council, Middlesex, England

Initial readings of salivary oxidation-reduction potentials are unreliable when used to type saliva.

They are affected by the previous treatment of the electrode and to a lesser extent by the type of electrode used.

Drifting potentials are the result of some unknown function of the electrode and are not primarily due to an actual salivary oxidation-reduction potential drift during the experiment.

Relative stability is obtained after an average of 60 minutes in a sample of saliva constantly agitated.

This final reading, as opposed to the initial one, appears to be more reliable as a basis for any investigation which attempts to relate oxidation-reduction potentials of saliva to clinical conditions.
