Q

Saliva

Rich in Ca

•Why is this important?

A

Contains comp that can attack cariogenic bacteria

Makes it easier to swallow

Some enzymes aid in digestion

Rich in Ca

  • Why is this important?
  • Plaque will calcify due to Ca in saliva–> this is known as Calculus or Tarter
  • Tends to happen in lower anterior teeth bc of where salivary gland is

Q

Diseases of Oral Cavity

C____

P____ (when)

I____

C____

(____)

A
  • Caries
  • Periodontal Disease: (caused by same thing as caries)
  • •Gingivitis
  • •Periodontitis
  • What makes some people more resistant to caries but sus to periodontal diseaseà we don’t know
    • We don’t see a lot of this in under 30 crowd
      • See significant perio disease after 30

As they get older, get more resistent to caries but more sus to p disease

Resistant can come from fluoride **

  • Infection
  • Cancer
  • (Aging)
  • mouth changes as we age
