The Influence of the Chemical Composition of the Saliva,
Buffer Capacity and the Salivary pH on Children
with Diabetes Compared to Non-diabetics

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to evaluate some salivary parameters (flow and pH) and also the buffer capacity of the saliva in children with diabetes versus non-diabetic children, as a low buffering capacity of the saliva increases the carious process and premature aparition of the decays. It is known that patients with diabetes have the secretion and chimical composition of the saliva different compared to non-diabetic subjects but no research was stimated for young patients. Our study took place between 2013 - 2015 and included 148 patients (62 diabetics and 86 non-diabetic children), with the age between 7-18 years. It was used Saliva-Check Buffer Kit. The children with diabetes had an unstimulated salivary flow average of 0.15 ml/min versus 0.36 ml/min for children without diabetes. The average flow of stimulated saliva was similar in both groups: 2.2 ml/min in children with diabetes and 2.5 ml/min in non-diabetic children. A high buffering capacity of saliva may be seen in patients without diabetes, average of buffering capacity of the saliva is 9.6, and the buffering capacity of diabetic patients saliva has an average of 5.09. Diabetic patients have significantly lower salivary pH compared with non-diabetic patients. pH average was 6.0 for children with diabetes and 7.0 for non-diabetic patients. The increasing number of children with diabetes recommends an adequate assessment of salivary clinical parameters, such as spontaneous salivary flow and buffering capacity of saliva, both obvious and significant modified in our study in diabetic patients. Keywords: children, diabetus mellitus, pH, salivary flow, buffer capacity
