Literature Review On Saliva

Blood and saliva borne bacteria are mainly the reason for some serious infectious diseases (Szymanska, 2005, Martin et al., 2009). For example, Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a known virus that may be contracted in dental clinics. Investigation of the presence of the virus in the oral fluids of hepatitis B carriers showed that %70 of their sample were infectious (Molinari & Harte, 2010). The greatest concentration of the HBV is under the gingival sulucs where this area is inflamed routinely and allows blood to mix

The final system of the body I examined was the digestive system. This is known to be one of the most interesting areas of the body because of the many functions the system is responsible for. This system is also home to several major organs. One major organ is the salivary gland. This gland is in the lower part of the face, as well as the side of the face under the ear along the jaw line. The key function is the gland’s ability to produce saliva. These glands are light pink, and have a few possible shapes and sizes. Following the gland, I began to take a look at the pharynx. This organ can be found posterior to the larynx, and near the nasal and oral cavities. The pharynx is responsible for assisting with the passage of food. It is a muscle like tube with the same

In this study of 600 German participants in the EPIC-Potsdam cohort, we found a positive association between increasing quantities of salivary P.g and serum anti-CCP2 antibody levels, after adjusting for various covariates. Specifically, this association was confined to individuals with systemic inflammation, measured as CRP levels >3mg/L. We also found that individuals that were positive for a number of ACPA fine-specificities demonstrated a higher quantity of P.g DNA and CRP levels than ACPA negative individuals.

If you are concerned that your oral health issue might be too complex to deal with, don't you worry! Robert A Eckelson and his team have worked on many difficult cases and

A dental hygiene diagnosis is used to identify areas of deficit that need attention. It is important to use critical thinking in order to develop a dental hygiene diagnosis within the scope of practice of dental hygiene. The dental hygiene diagnosis is based on the assessment of data from the medical history, dental chart, radiographs, periodontal chart, and twelve page assessment about the patient's dental hygiene care needs. These findings are important in order to plan and implement an effective dental hygiene treatment plan.

Oral care is important to keep up with no matter if you are healthy, or have some sort of syndrome or disease. If oral care is not as important to you as food is, then you may be asking for infection because your mouth is a very dirty environment. It is a bacteria heaven. In this paper, I will address a few different topics. First, we will talk about oral care for patients with autism, then patients that have Down syndrome. Both of these

The most likely diagnosis is a cold sore, most commonly called the herpes simplex type 1 virus (HSV-1). Everyone has the virus in them and it will present in times of stress, sun exposure, or a weakened immune system. The doctor will take a sample of the fluid from the vesicles if Don's history warrants it.

There are also other devices on the market that assist in carries diagnosis. The Inspektor Pro is a quantitative light-induced florescence (QLF) device used to detect smooth surface caries. Like the DIAGNOdent this device uses florescence to detect caries and it also give a quantitative measurement of findings. However, it is designed to detect carries on smooth surfaces and is unproven for occlusal pits and groves (Karlsson & Tranaeus,

There are also many things we don’t know about a human’s saliva. Humans and dogs are relatively similar, but the diseases and the bacteria we carry can be very different. This may be one of the reasons we don’t exactly know if a dog’s mouth is cleaner than ours. It may just be an old wives tale that dog mouths are cleaner, but they could have a special substance in their mouths that keep their mouths clean. In order to test this theory I’d like to find out myself.

The client presents a pink and even color tongue. The dorsal surface appears roughened from the papillae. The client’s ventral tongue surface looks smooth and glistening and shows veins. The client’s U-shaped tongue presents no oral malignancies; white patches, lesions, nodules, or ulcerations. Saliva is present. (Jarvis, 2016, p. 364-365)

It also lubricates food to facilitate swallowing and dissolves some food molecules. If the salivary glands were damaged or dysfunctional, the process of breaking down starches into sugar would not begin in the mouth, the food would not be lubricated, some food molecules would not be dissolved, and there would be a higher change of infection as saliva contains a bacteria-killing enzyme and antibodies that guard against infection.

A total of 1855 biopsy specimens were accessioned at our biopsy services during the study period (2002 – 2006). In this period, 37 cases were salivary gland neoplasms accounting to 1.99% of all biopsy specimens accessioned. Of 37 cases, 11 were benign neoplasms (29.72%) and 26 were malignant (70.27%). The common tumors overall was Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) and Muco-epidermoid carcinoma (MEC) (Table 1).

My hypothesis is that the acidifying foods being eaten will lower the pH of saliva, and that the acidic foods being

The present study has also employed full mouth recording of all the data in each student, in order to prevent underestimation of prevalence.

Though specific subject selection criteria are not mentioned in the article, subject selection bias is not observed as cases reported in this article include both sexes, age range reported is broad from 31 to 70 years old the location and clinical appearance of each oral lesion were different. Author has reported and discussed each case and analyzed similarities and differences in all case reports. As per my opinion this study has following issues:
