摘要:
This study was conducted for the purpose of establishing the possible influence of orthodontic therapy with fixed appliances on salivary clearance of sugar. Fifteen consecutive patients between the ages 12 and 17 years took part in the investigation. Unstimulated salivary flow rate, residual volume of saliva in the mouth after swallowing (RESID), and salivary clearance of sugar was determined on two occasions, before treatment commenced and after a minimum of 3 weeks of appliance wear. Analysis of the data showed that both RESID and salivary flow rate exhibited significantly increased levels during orthodontic therapy. The insertion of fixed appliances did not seem to have any effect on the rate of salivary clearance of sugar. It was assumed that this finding could be a consequence of the combined effects of the changes in salivary flow rate and RESID.
