Age dependency of stimulated salivary flow rate, pH, and lactobacillus and yeast concentrations

T Parvinen et al. J Dent Res. 1982 Sep.

Abstract

No significant influence of age on the stimulated salivary flow rate or pH was observed in a cross-sectional study of unmedicated adults. The females had a lower output than did the males in every age group. A tendency toward higher salivary counts of lactobacilli and yeasts with aging was observed.
