Salivary Buffer Capacity

Saliva have significant roles in maintaining the health of oral cavity. Salivary flow and composition of saliva play a critical role. Saliva also serves as buffer system. Increasing the salivary flow will increase salivary buffer capacity and pH of saliva. Salivary buffer capacity serves to protect the teeth from the acid that comes from food which is formed by acidogenic microorganisms. Milk and dairy are good diet for children that recommended by American Heart Association (AHA). Cheese as one of dairy mild can increase the salivary flow, that help keep the dental hygiene, and prevent bacteria sticking to the teeth. The aim of the study was to identify the effect of cheese and milk consumption on salivary buffer capacity of students aged 10-12 year at Sekolah Dasar Negeri 57 Banda Aceh. Salivary buffer capacity after consume cheese measured after chewing cheese 4 gram about 32 times whereas salivary buffer capacity after consume milk consumption was measured after gargling 25 ml milk 34 times. Salivary buffer capacity measured with Saliva-check buffer (GC). Results of Wilcoxon test showed significant differences (p<0.05) salivary buffer capacity after consumption of milk compared with cheese. Capacity buffer salivary after consumption of cheese higher than milk. In conclusion, cheese and milk consumption have effect on salivary buffer capacity. Salivary buffer capacity after cheese consumption is higher than after milk consumption.

Abstract Objective: To determine the physiologic changes of salivary flow rate, pH, and buffer capacity and the levels of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus spp in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: The study included 23 patients scheduled for fixed orthodontic therapy. All subjects received equal braces, bands, and brackets, bonded with the same material. Stimulated saliva samples were taken before placement of the appliance, and at weeks 6, 12, and 18 during the therapy. Salivary flow rate and salivary pH were measured, and the salivary buffer capacity was determined. Saliva samples were cultivated on selective microbial agar for microorganism detection. Results: A significant (P &lt; .05) increase in stimulated salivary flow rate and salivary pH was found. The salivary levels of S mutans and Lactobacillus spp also inscreased significantly (P &lt; .05), and the major peak was at week 12 of fixed orthodontic therapy. Conclusion: The 6th to 12th week of orthodontic therapy is the period of the most intensive intraoral growth of S mutans and Lactobacillus spp and a time of very intensive salivary functions and physiologic response.

BACKGROUND: In 2007, the American Heart Association published updated evidence-based guidelines on the recommended use of antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent viridans group streptococcal (VGS) infective endocarditis (IE) in cardiac patients undergoing invasive procedures. The 2007 guidelines significantly scaled back the underlying conditions for which antibiotic prophylaxis was recommended, leaving only 4 categories thought to confer the highest risk of adverse outcome. The purpose of this update is to examine interval evidence of the acceptance and impact of the 2007 recommendations on VGS IE and, if needed, to make revisions based on this evidence. METHODS AND RESULTS: A writing group was formed consisting of experts in prevention and treatment of infective endocarditis including members of the American Dental Association, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, in addition to the American Heart Association. MEDLINE database searches were done for English language articles on compliance with the recommendations in the 2007 guidelines and the frequency of and morbidity or mortality from VGS IE after publication of the 2007 guidelines. Overall, there was good general awareness of the 2007 guidelines but variable compliance with recommendations. There was no convincing evidence that VGS IE frequency, morbidity, or mortality has increased since 2007. CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of a review of the available evidence, there are no recommended changes to the 2007 VGS IE prevention guidelines. We continue to recommend VGS IE prophylaxis only for categories of patients at highest risk for adverse outcome while emphasizing the critical role of good oral health and regular access to dental care for all. Randomized controlled studies to determine whether antibiotic prophylaxis is effective against VGS IE are needed to further refine recommendations.

Sizes of horizontal wear facets of maxillary anterior teeth were studied longitudinally from the primary dentition at age five to the young adult dentition at the age of 18 years. By a planimetric method, we calculated the wear areas on dental casts taken at the ages of five, ten, 14, and 18 years from the dentition of 39 healthy, orthodontically untreated subjects with good morphological occlusion. For young adults, we also studied the association between the amount of wear and reported parafunctions, maximal bite force, salivary buffer capacity, salivary flow rate, and some cephalometric variables. Size of wear facets on all anterior teeth increased with age. Significant correlations were found between the total wear areas of the six anterior primary teeth at five years of age and those of their permanent successors at age 14 (r = 0.44) and 18 (r = 0.39). For an individual, tooth wear at five years of age was, however, of low predictive value for tooth wear in young adulthood, whereas tooth wear at 14 years of age predicted it well (r = 0.89). Highest correlations between tooth wear and background factors at 18 years of age were found for maximal anterior bite force (r = 0.44) and for the size of the gonial angle (r = -0.31). Wear of anterior teeth was not associated with reported parafunctions in young adulthood.

Salivary Buffer Capacity

The dentifrices currently available in the marketplace contain many anticariogenic substances, fluoride and abrasives aimed to better clean the dental surface, remove dental plaque, improve salivary flow and its buffer capacity and reduce colonies of bacteria such as S. mutans, the causative agent of dental caries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the possibility of adequately removing dental plaque using an experimental almond oil dentifrice (Titoil) with no abrasives or antiplaque agents. This study was carried out with 80 volunteers, all of them 18-year-old recruits from the military training school of Araçatuba - SP. Saliva sampling and dental plaque disclosing were undertaken both before and after 28 days of toothbrushing with a low abrasive dentifrice (Group 1: 40 volunteers) or with Titoil (Group 2: 40 volunteers). Statistical analysis of the results revealed that the experimental dentifrice (Titoil) did not interfere with salivary flow and reduced dental plaque more than the low abrasive dentifrice, improved the salivary buffer capacity and decreased salivary S. mutans (Caritest-SM) as much as regular dentifrices. It was concluded that if the dental industry replaces abrasive by vegetable oil in dentifrices, these will be more effective in maintaining oral health and will cause less dental abrasion.

Scientific Statement

A healthy brain is critical for living a longer and fuller life. The projected aging of the population, however, raises new challenges in maintaining quality of life. As we age, there is increasing compromise of neuronal activity that affects functions such as cognition, also making the brain vulnerable to disease. Once pathology-induced decline begins, few therapeutic options are available. Prevention is therefore paramount, and primary care can play a critical role. The purpose of this American Heart Association scientific statement is to provide an up-to-date summary for primary care providers in the assessment and modification of risk factors at the individual level that maintain brain health and prevent cognitive impairment. Building on the 2017 American Heart Association/American Stroke Association presidential advisory on defining brain health that included “Life’s Simple 7,” we describe here modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline, including depression, hypertension, physical inactivity, diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia, poor diet, smoking, social isolation, excessive alcohol use, sleep disorders, and hearing loss. These risk factors include behaviors, conditions, and lifestyles that can emerge before adulthood and can be routinely identified and managed by primary care clinicians.

ZusammenfassungNach Durchführung prospektiv-randomisierter Studien liegen für die Karotis-Thrombendarteriektomie (KarotisTEA) höhergradiger Karotisstenosen gesicherte Indikationen auf dem Evidenzlevel Ia mit dem Empfehlungsgrad A vor. Dies betrifft sowohl >50%ige symptomatische als auch >60%ige asymptomatische Stenosen (NASCET-Kriterien). In Subgruppen-Analysen aus NASCET konnten klinische und morphologische Variablen identifiziert werden, die auf ein besonders hohes Risiko eines karotisbedingten Schlaganfalls im natürlichen Verlauf hinweisen. Patienten mit folgenden Variablen profitieren daher besonders von der Karotis-TEA: Stenosegrad >90%, schlechter Kollateralkreislauf, kontralateraler Karotisverschluss, Plaque-Ulzerationen, Tandemstenosen, intraluminale Thromben, nicht-lakunärer Hirninfarkt, Lebensalter >75 Jahre, komplexes klinisches Risikoprofil, Hemisphären-TIA (vs. Amaurosis fugax), männliches Geschlecht. Der präventive Effekt der Karotis-TEA kann jedoch nur unter Beachtung eines niedrigen perioperativen Schlaganfallbzw. Letalitätrisikos realisiert werden. Nach Empfehlungen der American Heart Association (AHA) darf das perioperative Risiko 3% bei asymptomatischen Stenosen ohne kontralaterale Stenose, 5% bei asymptomatischen Stenosen mit hochgradiger kontralateraler Stenose oder Verschluss und 6% bei symptomatischen >50%ige Stenosen (NASCET-Kriterien) nicht überschreiten. Die Ergebnisse der Qualitätssicherung Karotis-TEA der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Gefäßchirurgie (DGG) zeigen, dass diese maximal akzeptablen Obergrenzen zum Teil deutlich unterschritten werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt das Stenting von Karotisstenosen einen klinischen Heilversuch dar, der nur nach interdisziplinärem Konsil und/oder i. R. randomisierter Studien zulässig ist.
