Unstimulated and stimulated parotid salivary flow rate in individuals of different ages

M. W. Heft and B. J. Baum

Both unstimulated and stimulated parotid saliva samples were collected from 85 healthy, unmedicated individuals between the ages of 23 and 81 years. There were no significant differences in flow rate related to age with either unstimulated or stimulated secretion.
