The study of oral fluid dynamic parameters on the background of pathological and physiological dental abrasion

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Introduction: Violation of oral fluid mineralization processes, which is determined by the mineralization potential of saliva, is associated with changes in the physicochemical parameters of the oral fluid, particularly its viscosity. The aim of our study was to study mineralization potential and types of microstallation of oral fluid as one of the factors of influence on the cariesogenic situation in the oral cavity of patients with physiological or pathological tooth abrasion. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: During the examination of patients' oral cavity, a comprehensive assessment of tooth hard tissues was performed in order to of study activity and prevalence of the processes occurring in them. RESULTS: Results: Assessing the physico-chemical parameters of oral fluid in patients of the first experimental group, we obtained the following results: the viscosity of saliva in subgroups was 2,17 ± 0,87 for subgroup #1, 1,78 ± 0,57 for subgroup #2, and 2,15 ± 0,86 for #3 subgroups, which did not have a significant difference between the indices within the group. During the research, the number of independent structures of oral fluid in subgroups 1-3 was 1.67 ± 0.86, 1.67 ± 0.77 and 1.57 ± 0.85. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Thus, we have established that the mineralizing function of saliva changes when the cariesogenic situation in the oral cavity arises,. This leads to destabilization of the crystalline structure of the oral fluid and indicates the relationship between its structural and mineralizing properties.
