[The status of acid-base homeostasis in oral fluid during gestation]

Abstract

The article presents information on the nature and dynamics of metabolic changes in oral fluid in women during gestation. It is shown that dystrophic-inflammatory processes of periodontal tissues grow backed by the progression of metabolic acidosis. High content of sulfhydryl groups and disulfide ties in soluble proteins and low molecular weight compounds of oral fluid during pregnancy and activation of enzymatic antioxidant defense system periodontal tissues are found.
