To evaluate the cariogenic factors of human saliva, one-hundred male and female from 20 to 24 year-old 'K' dental collage students were selected and examined.
They were tested with Salivary flow rate, Salivary buffering capacity, Salivary PH, Snyder test and oral examination.
The obtained results were as follows:
1. The average flow rate of stimulated saliva was 11.05㎖ in male and 6.98㎖ in female, and under the average was 45%.
2. The average stimulated salivary PH was PH 7.4 in male, PH 7.28 in female, but statistically no significant differences were found.
3. Buffering capacity of stimulated saliva was 10.59 drops in male, 9.33 drops in female, and under the avaerage was 34%.
4. In Snyder est, 74% was positive reaction:within positives 24% was mild, 28% was moderate, and 22% was active.
5. Stimulated salivary flow rate and salivary buffering capacity were reversely affect on dental caries onset of Korean twenties permanent tooth.
