Ultrafilterable Calcium in Caries-susceptible and Caries-immune Subjects

LOIS LIGHTFOOT 1, F. C. BESIC 1, FRANCES HARNACH 1, and T. B. COOLIDGE 1

1 Biochemistry Department and Zoller Clinic, University of Chicago

About 40-80 per cent of the calcium in saliva is ultrafilterable at normal alkaline pH values, but all the calcium becomes ultrafilterable when the saliva is made slightly acid.

In twenty subjects, half with active clinical caries and half with little or no caries activity, there was not observed any relation between the percentage of the total calcium which was ultrafilterable and the caries activity.
