Stimulation of Saliva in Physiological Conditions by C-Vitamins and Chewing gum

Abstract

U 20 žena i 20 muškaraca, studenata 5. godine stomatologije, sa zdravim oralnim sluznicama i saniranim zubima, kvantificirana je nestimulirana i stimulirana slina. Prvim mjerenjem, koje je provedeno tako da su je izbacivali u epruvetu (0,1 skala) tijekom 5 minuta, određena je nestimulirana slina. Sedam dana poslije mjerena je stimulirana slina pošto su studenti pili vodenu otopinu askrobinske kiseline (lg na 1 del), te skupljali slinu u epruvetu tijekom 5 minuta. Mjerenjem nakon 14 dana dobivena je stimulirana slina pošto su 1 minutu žvakali žvakaću gumu “Orbit ”, te izbacivali slinu u epruvetu tijekom 5 minuta. Svrha istraživanja bila je odrediti razlike u količini nestimulirane i stimulirane sline, ovisnost sekrecije sline o vrsti stimulacije, razlike u količini sline prema spolu. Rezultati pokazuju da su vrijednosti nestimulirane sline manje od vrijednosti stimulirane, C-vitamin povećava sekreciju za 35%, a “Orbit” za 70%. Muškarci izlučuju veće količine nestimulirane sline i stimulirane C-vitaminom i “Orbitom” u odnosu na prema ženama i to u omjeru 1:1,5.Zvakača se guma preporučuje u sijalometrijske i terapijske svrhe lokalne stimulacije.Stimulated and unstimulated saliva was quantified in 20 female and 20 male 5th year students of dentistry with healthy oral mucoous membranes and treated teeth. In the first measuring unstimulated saliva was determined by collecting in a test tube (0.1 scale) during 5 minutes. Stimulated saliva was measured 7 days later after drinking a water solution o f asorbic acid (Ig to ldcl), and collecting in a test tube during 5 minutes. After 14 days stimulated saliva was measured after chweing uOrbit” chewing gum for one minute and collecting in a test tube during 5 minutes. The aim o f the investigation was to determine the difference in the amount o f stimulated and unstimulated saliva; dependence o f saliva secretion on the type o f stimulation, and the difference in the amount o f saliva according to sex. The results show that the values o f unstimualted saliva are lower than the values o f stimulated saliva, and the C-vitamin increases secretion by 35%, and “Orbit” chewing gum by 70%. Male students excreted a greater quantity o f unstimulated saliva and saliva stimulated by C-vitamin and “Orbit” compored to the female students (ratio 1:1.5).Chewing gum is recommended for the purpose of sialographic and therapeutic local stimulation
