salivary statcasein

Casein is a family of phosphoproteins rich in tyrosine and proline in saliva with a molecular weight of 5.38 kD and an isoelectric point of pH 4.22. Basic Information Specialist classification: oral examination classification: body fluid examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: If the activity of this acidic peptide is reduced, it may cause precipitation of calcium phosphate salt, which makes the formation of calculus easy. Normal value: Saliva rich casein: 2-6μmol/L Above normal: Rare. negative: Positive: Tips: Oral contraceptives can reduce the results. Normal value 2 to 6 μmol/L. Clinical significance Casein can maintain saliva as a supersaturated calcium and phosphate solution that prevents enamel demineralization, stimulates demineralization of demineralized enamel, and gradually remineralizes newly erupted teeth. If the activity of this acidic peptide is reduced, it may cause precipitation of calcium phosphate salt, which makes the formation of calculus easy. Submandibular gland saliva contains high concentrations and saturation of calcium phosphate. Compared with parotid secretions, submandibular gland secretions have a tendency to form calculus. Low results may be diseases: plaque precautions Oral contraceptives can reduce the results. Inspection process Samples were taken immediately after collection and detected by fluorimetry. Not suitable for the crowd Oral contraceptives can reduce the test results and should not be detected. Adverse reactions and risks no.
