Abstract
The mean pH and buffering capacity of stimulated saliva collected from young cystic fibrosis patients were measured and were found to be significantly higher than were the values for the controls (p < 0.01). In addition, the caries experience of the cystic fibrosis children would appear to be considerably less than that of the controls. The association of these salivary alterations with a decreased caries experience is discussed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
