Abstract
OBJECTIVE Medications with anticholinergic potential inhibit saliva secretion. Polypharmacy potentiates anticholinergic burden, causing dry mouth symptoms and chronic deterioration of oral health. Patients of any age can be affected by anticholinergic medication-triggered hyposalivation (the objective measure of dry mouth); therefore, seeking predictions of hyposalivation to screen dry mouth is needed. DESIGN In our prospective, cross-sectional clinical study, 55 middle-aged adult patients participated. We examined whether the anticholinergic burden calculated from anticholinergic medications (anticholinergic drug score; ADS) and blood serum anticholinergic activity (SAA; the gold standard measure of anticholinergic burden) is associated with hyposalivation. As no prior studies measured minor salivary glands regarding the quantifiable anticholinergic burden, we assessed hyposalivation by the minor saliva flow (MSF) and unstimulated whole saliva (UWS) secretion. RESULTS Our data showed a negative linear relationship between SAA and UWS (p < 0.05); when SAA increases by one pmol/ml unit, the saliva flow decreases by 0.058 ml/min. MSF showed a linear correlation (p < 0.005) with UWS. In a multivariate logistic regression model (including age, gender, race, smoking status, xerostomia severity, ADS, and BMI), we identified SAA and age as predictors of hyposalivation (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS We provide evidence for the significant relationship between measurable anticholinergic burden and saliva flow. The correlation between UWS and MSF suggests that both saliva flow rate measurement methods could reflect anticholinergics-induced changes in salivary health.

Abstract
Aims Salivary gland tumors (SGTs) are a rare and diverse group of tumors that account for 3 to 10% of all head and neck malignancies. We aimed to conduct a comprehensive epidemiological analysis of SGTs in the south of Iran and compare the findings with previous reports from Iran and other parts of the world. Methods Using a retrospective study, 405 patients diagnosed with SGTs were observed over an eight-year period between April 2013 and October 2021 in Shiraz, Iran. Patients' demographic and clinicopathological features were obtained from patients' records. Quantitative and descriptive data analysis was performed using SPSS software. Results There were 302 benign (74.5%) and 103 (25.4%) malignant SGTs. Pleomorphic adenoma and Warthin's tumors were the most common benign SGTs (70.5% and 21.5%, respectively). The most common malignant SGTs were mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma (26.2% and 22.3%, respectively). There was a statistically significant association between tumor origin and its malignancy status (p < 0.001). In addition, the results indicated that benign tumors were most commonly detected in the parotid gland (p < 0.05). The benign tumors were more frequently observed among the younger population (p = 0.006). Conclusion In summary, the findings of the current study were mainly consistent with the previous reports from Iran and the rest of the world. Benign tumors were the most prevalent type of SGTs, and the parotid gland was the most common site. While the majority of cases that developed from the major salivary glands were benign, all the minor SGTs were malignant. Older patients were more likely to develop malignant tumors compared to younger ones. This study provides insights into the prevalence, age-related incidence, gender distribution, and geographic variation of salivary gland tumors. This can be instrumental to develop a guideline for screening, diagnosis, and determining an optimal treatment.

Abstract
The production and secretion of saliva is an essential function of the salivary glands. Saliva is a complicated liquid with different functions, including moistening, digestion, mineralization, lubrication, and mucosal protection. This review focuses on the mechanism and neural regulation of salivary secretion, and saliva is secreted in response to various stimuli, including odor, taste, vision, and mastication. The chemical and physical properties of saliva change dynamically during physiological and pathophysiological processes. Moreover, the central nervous system modulates salivary secretion and function via various neurotransmitters and neuroreceptors. Smell, vision, and taste have been investigated for the connection between salivation and brain function. The immune and endocrine functions of the salivary glands have been explored recently. Salivary glands play an essential role in innate and adaptive immunity and protection. Various immune cells such as B cells, T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells, as well as immunoglobins like IgA and IgG have been found in salivary glands. Evidence supports the synthesis of corticosterone, testosterone, and melatonin in salivary glands. Saliva contains many potential biomarkers derived from epithelial cells, gingival crevicular fluid, and serum. High level of matrix metalloproteinases and cytokines are potential markers for oral carcinoma, infectious disease in the oral cavity, and systemic disease. Further research is required to monitor and predict potential salivary biomarkers for health and disease in clinical practice and precision medicine.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare submandibular gland (SMG) transplantation with minor salivary gland (MSG) transplantation for the treatment of different dry eye diseases (DED). DESIGN Retrospective clinical cohort study. METHODS A total of 73 refractory DED eyes were divided into 3 groups. Group A comprised 35 end-stage DED eyes that underwent SMG transplantation. Group B comprised 20 end-stage DED eyes with MSG transplantation. Group C comprised 18 non-end-stage DED eyes with MSG transplantation. Schirmer test (ST), tear break-up time (TBUT), corneal fluorescein staining (FL), and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were measured before and after surgery. RESULTS Hospital length of stay, length of operation, and hospital fee were significantly higher in group A than in group B or C. Eyes in group A showed the most severe DED disease, with preoperative ST, TBUT, FL, and BCVA of 0.36 mm per 5 minutes, 0.03 seconds, 10.97, and 0.11, respectively, which improved significantly to 20.23 mm per 5minutes, 1.74 seconds, 7.58, and 0.2 at >2-year follow-up. Group B had similar baseline data, and significant but limited improvement only in the ST (0.55 mm per 5 minutes to 3.79 mm per 5 minutes) and FL (11.10 to 9.58) after the operation. Group C had better baseline ST, TBUT, FL, and BCVA of 0.89 mm per 5min, 3.49 seconds, 1.83, and 0.81, respectively, which improved significantly (except for BCVA) to 9.35 mm per 5min, 9.08 s, 0.53, and 0.89 after MSG transplantation. CONCLUSION SMG transplantation could be recommended to treat end-stage refractory DED. MSG transplantation may provide satisfying results for refractory DED with relatively less severe impairment of the eye.

Abstract
In patients with head and neck cancer, irradiation (IR)-sensitive salivary gland (SG) tissue is highly prone to damage during radiotherapy (RT). This leads to SG hypofunction and xerostomia. Xerostomia is defined as the subjective complaint of dry mouth, which can cause other symptoms and adversely affect the quality of life. In recent years, diagnostic techniques have constantly improved with the emergence of more reliable and valid questionnaires as well as more accurate equipment for saliva flow rate measurement and imaging methods. Preventive measures such as the antioxidant MitoTEMPO, botulinum toxin (BoNT), and growth factors have been successfully applied in animal experiments, resulting in positive outcomes. Interventions, such as the new delivery methods of pilocarpine, edible saliva substitutes, acupuncture and electrical stimulation, gene transfer, and stem cell transplantation, have shown potential to alleviate or restore xerostomia in patients. The review summarizes the existing and new diagnostic methods for xerostomia, along with current and potential strategies for reducing IR-induced damage to SG function. We also aim to provide guidance on the advantages and disadvantages of the diagnostic methods. Additionally, most prevention and treatment methods remain in the stage of animal experiments, suggesting a need for further clinical research, among which we believe that antioxidants, gene transfer, and stem cell transplantation have broad prospects.

Abstract
Despite much progress in regulations to improve paediatric drug development, there remains a significant need to develop better medications for children. For the design of oral dosage forms, a detailed understanding of the specific gastrointestinal (GI) conditions in children of different age categories and how they differ from GI conditions in adults is essential. Several review articles have been published addressing the ontogeny of GI characteristics, including luminal conditions in the GI tract of children. However, the data reported in most of these reviews are of limited quality because (1) information was cited from very old publications and sometimes low quality sources, (2) data gaps in the original data were filled with textbook knowledge, (3) data obtained on healthy and sick children were mixed, (4) average data obtained on groups of patients were mixed with data obtained on individual patients, and (5) results obtained using investigative techniques that may have altered the outcome of the respective studies were considered. Consequently, many of these reviews draw conclusions that may be incorrect. The aim of the present review was to provide a comprehensive and updated overview of the available original data on the ontogeny of GI luminal conditions relevant to oral drug absorption in the paediatric population. To this end, the PubMed and Web of Science metadatabases were searched for appropriate studies that examined age-related conditions in the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and colon. Maturation was observed for several GI parameters, and corresponding data sets were identified for each paediatric age group. However, it also became clear that the ontogeny of several GI traits in the paediatric population is not yet known. The review article provides a robust and valuable data set for the development of paediatric in vitro and in silico biopharmaceutical tools to support the development of age-appropriate dosage forms. In addition, it provides important information on existing data gaps and should provide impetus for further systematic and well-designed in vivo studies on GI physiology in children of specific age groups in order to close existing knowledge gaps and to sustainably improve oral drug therapy in children.

Abstract
Saliva plays multifunctional roles in oral cavity. Even though its importance for the maintenance of oral health has long been established, the role of saliva in food perception has attracted increasing attention in recent years. We encourage researchers to discover the peculiarity of this biological fluid and aim to combine the data concerning all aspects of the saliva influence on the sensory perception of food. This review presents saliva as a unique material, which modulates food perception due to constant presence of saliva in the mouth and thanks to its composition. Therefore, we highlight the salivary components that contribute to these effects. Moreover, this review is an attempt to structure the effects of saliva on perception of different food categories, where the mechanisms of salivary impact in perception of liquid, semi-solid, and solid foods are revealed. Finally, we emphasize that the large inter-individual variability in salivary composition and secretion appear to contribute to the fact that everyone experiences food in their own way. Therefore, the design of the sensory studies should consider the properties of volunteers' saliva and also carefully monitor the experimental conditions that affect salivary composition and flow rate.

Abstract
The use of saliva as a diagnostic biofluid has been increasing in recent years, thanks to the identification and validation of new biomarkers and improvements in test accuracy, sensitivity, and precision that enable the development of new noninvasive and cost-effective devices. However, the lack of standardized methods for sample collection, treatment, and storage contribute to the overall variability and lack of reproducibility across analytical evaluations. Furthermore, the instability of salivary biomarkers after sample collection hinders their translation into commercially available technologies for noninvasive monitoring of saliva in home settings. The present review aims to highlight the status of research on the challenges of collecting and using diagnostic salivary samples, emphasizing the methodologies used to preserve relevant proteins, hormones, genomic, and transcriptomic biomarkers during sample handling and analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The involvement of minor salivary glands (MSGs) with fibrosis in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) pathology is a quite conceivable fact. However, very little attention has been given to the status of MSGs in OSMF. METHODOLOGY Total 53 cases of OSMF were recruited and demographic details, mouth opening, clinical oral dryness score (CODS), and buccal mucosal MSG flow rate were determined. The fibrosis around MSGs is categorized into three grades and compared with relevant clinicopathological parameters. RESULTS Out of total 53 OSMF patients, there were 15 patients in grade I MSG involvement with fibrosis followed by 24 and 14 patients in grade II and grade III, respectively. Grade I MSG involvement showed maximum mouth opening (32 ± 3.87 mm) followed by Grade II (19.85 ± 4.31mm) and Grade III (11.42 ± 5.21mm) and the differences between them were statistically significant. The CODS score was more in grade III (5.5 ± 1.09 mm) as compared to Grade II (4.04 ± 0.62 mm) and Grade I (2.46 ± 0.74 mm) involvement of MSG. The flow rate was more in grade I (8.02 ± 2.99 mm) as compared to Grade II (3.97 ± 1.09 mm) and Grade III (3.4 ± 0.87 mm) involvement of MSG. CONCLUSION The fibrosis associated with OSMF can affect the MSGs located at mucosal and sub-mucosal levels. The clinical determinants such as mouth opening, salivary flow rate, and CODS corroborate with the grading of the degree of MSG involvement with fibrosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical manifestations and pathologic appearances of the submandibular gland (SMG) in Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS). STUDY DESIGN Patients with autologous transplantation of SMG for treatment of severe dry eye between March 1998 and May 2018 were divided into the SJS group (70 cases) and non-SJS group (50 cases) according to the history of SJS. The SMG weight and computed tomography volume and salivary flow rate were measured. The concentration index and secretion index were estimated using scintigraphy with technetium-99m-pertechnetate. Histopathology studies of SMG tissues were conducted, and the acini parameters were measured using a digital image analyzer. RESULTS A decreased computed tomography volume and weight was observed in 48.57% the SJS group and 2% in the non-SJS group (P < .01). The rest whole, acid-stimulated whole, and SMG rest salivary flow rates decreased in the SJS group (P < .05). The normal SMG concentration index (37.5% vs 96.67%, P < .001) and secretion index (35% vs 96.67%, P < .001) rates were lower in the SJS group than in the non-SJS group. The glandular parenchyma was reduced, the acinar space was widened, and the fat content was increased in the SJS group. CONCLUSION SMG atrophic and degenerative changes occurred in the SJS group, with a decrease in salivary secretion function in more than half of the patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcome and quality of life of IgG4-related sialadenitis (IgG4-RS) patients after submandibular gland (SMG) excision without immunomediate therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective review included patients with IgG4-RS who did not undergo further treatment following SMG excision. All patients diagnosed with IgG4-RS between January 1955 and December 2012 at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School of Stomatology, were enrolled. The main outcome measures included postoperative IgG4-RS progression rate and differences between patients with and without recurrent disease. The degree of subjective oral dryness was evaluated using the summated xerostomia inventory (SXI); the objective secretory function was assessed by whole saliva flow rate measurements. Serological findings were analyzed during the follow-up. RESULTS SMG excision was adopted in all of the 83 patients. The median follow-up period was 108 (range 7-396) months. Clinical progression was observed in 54.2% of cases. Patients with other organ involvement (OOI) indicated higher progression rate to a significant extent (P = 0.015, HR = 2.108). The annual progression rate was 20.7% in the group with OOI and was 14.1% in the group without OOI. All cases showed higher levels of serum IgG4; the level was in positive correlation with follow-up time when no therapy was added. 82.4% of cases experienced xerostomia after the surgery, and the degree of dry mouth in patients underwent bilateral resection was significantly more severe than those in unilateral resection. CONCLUSIONS Surgical excision of involved SMG cannot control the disease progression, which is not recommended for treatment of IgG4-RS. Differential diagnosis is crucial in order to prevent irreversible organ loss and relevant salivary gland dysfunction. Key Points • Surgical excision of involved SMG cannot control progression of IgG4-RS.

Abstract
Although the physiological control of salivary secretion has been well studied, the impact of disease on salivary gland function and how this changes the composition and function of saliva is less well understood and is considered in this review. Secretion of saliva is dependent upon nerve-mediated stimuli, which activate glandular fluid and protein secretory mechanisms. The volume of saliva secreted by salivary glands depends upon the frequency and intensity of nerve-mediated stimuli, which increase dramatically with food intake and are subject to facilitatory or inhibitory influences within the central nervous system. Longer-term changes in saliva secretion have been found to occur in response to dietary change and aging, and these physiological influences can alter the composition and function of saliva in the mouth. Salivary gland dysfunction is associated with different diseases, including Sjögren syndrome, sialadenitis, and iatrogenic disease, due to radiotherapy and medications and is usually reported as a loss of secretory volume, which can range in severity. Defining salivary gland dysfunction by measuring salivary flow rates can be difficult since these vary widely in the healthy population. However, saliva can be sampled noninvasively and repeatedly, which facilitates longitudinal studies of subjects, providing a clearer picture of altered function. The application of omics technologies has revealed changes in saliva composition in many systemic diseases, offering disease biomarkers, but these compositional changes may not be related to salivary gland dysfunction. In Sjögren syndrome, there appears to be a change in the rheology of saliva due to altered mucin glycosylation. Analysis of glandular saliva in diseases or therapeutic interventions causing salivary gland inflammation frequently shows increased electrolyte concentrations and increased presence of innate immune proteins, most notably lactoferrin. Altering nerve-mediated signaling of salivary gland secretion contributes to medication-induced dysfunction and may also contribute to altered saliva composition in neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
Saliva plays an important role in masticatory function and protection from dental caries. Although studies have been conducted on saliva properties, their results vary widely depending on population settings. Hence, this study was performed to evaluate the results of saliva properties in individuals who attended their first visit for orthodontic treatment. A total of 619 participants were included (387 females and 232 males; mean age: 14.6 years). We conducted oral examinations and saliva (stimulated) tests and evaluated the saliva flow rate, pH, and buffering capacity, along with bacterial culture. Saliva flow rate, pH, and buffering capacity were significantly higher in males than in females. However, the Streptococcus mutans score was significantly higher in females than in males even though oral hygiene was better in females. Significant positive correlations were found between age and saliva flow rate and S. mutans score. On the contrary, significant negative correlations were found between age and pH and buffering capacity. These results were similar to other studies where the target population was children or teenagers. Saliva properties of patients starting orthodontic treatment were almost the same as in populations of similar ages.

Abstract
Among the pathologies affecting the salivary glands, the Sjögren's syndrome (SS), an autoimmune disease, causes progressive destruction of the glandular tissue. The effect of SS is particularly evident on the labial glands and the morphological analysis of these minor glands is considered useful for diagnosis. Cevimeline hydrochloride (SNI), a selective muscarinic agonist drug, is one of the elective treatments for the hyposalivation due to SS, acting not only on major salivary glands, but also on labial glands since their secretion is primarily under parasympathetic control. Aim of this study is to describe the morphology of human labial glands treated with SNI by light, transmission, and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy. Moreover, a morphometric analysis was applied to the light and transmission electron microscopy micrographs to obtain data that were then compared with analogous data collected on control and carbachol-treated labial glands. Following SNI administration, the mucous tubules exhibited enlarged lumina, which were filled with a dense mucous secretion. Occasionally, small broken debris of the cells were retrieved into the lumen. In the mucous secretory cells, some mucous droplets fused to form a large vacuole-like structure. Similarly, the seromucous acini showed both dilated lumina and canaliculi. These above reported signs of secretion were confirmed through morphometric analysis and a milder action of SNI than carbachol on labial parenchyma was observed. This study confirmed that SNI also evoked secretion on labial glands and that its effect is more physiologic than that of the pan-muscarinic agonists.

Abstract
AIMS To use minor salivary glands' flow rate (MSGFR) measurement in minor salivary glands (MSGs) autotransplantation for the treatment of severe dry eye disease (DED). METHODS MSGs autotransplantations were performed in 18 eyes (17 patients) with severe DED. MSGFR were measured before operation. The upper or lower lip with higher MSGFR was selected as the donor site. Buccal mucosa was the back-up in cases labial MSGs showing markedly decreased MSGFRs. Two pieces of salivary lobules with the covering mucosa were harvested and transplanted to the recipient beds prepared in both upper and lower lids. RESULTS The donor sites included lower lip in 12 eyes, upper lip in 5 eyes and buccal mucosa in 1 eye. Postoperative follow-up confirmed viable grafts in all cases. The overall subjective relief rate of DED symptoms was 58.8%, with Schirmer test values increasing from 0 mm to 4 mm (p<0.05). The mean preoperative MSGFR was 1.7 (range: 0.9-3.3) µL/min/cm2. ROC analysis indicated an outstanding discrimination power for preoperative MSGFR to predicate postoperative relief of DED symptoms (area under the curve (AUC)=0.948, p<0.01). The maximum sensitivity (100%) and specificity (72.7%) were reached at a cut-off of 1.785 µL/min/cm2. Patients with preoperative MSGFR >1.785 µL/min/cm2 showed greater improvement of Schirmer test values after surgery than those with MSGFR ≤1.785 µL/min/cm2 (p<0.05). CONCLUSION MSGs transplantation proved to be useful for treating severe DED. The amount of postoperative lubrication and the treatment effect were positively correlated with preoperative MSGFR. MSGFR measurement and donor-site selection should be critical steps before the operation.

Abstract
C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein-6 (CTRP6) is a newly identified adipokine involved in diverse biological processes. However, its role in salivary glands remains unknown. Here, we demonstrated that CTRP6 was mainly distributed in the nuclei, apicolateral membranes, and cytoplasm of human submandibular glands (SMGs), serous cells of parotid glands, and ducts and apicolateral membranes of serous cells in rats and mice. CTRP6 inhibited the apoptosis rate and reversed the increased levels of cleaved caspase 3, caspase 8, caspase 9, and cytochrome C and the decreased Bcl-2 expression induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in both SMG-C6 cells and cultured human SMG tissues. Microarray analysis identified 43 differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) in the SMGs of nonobese diabetic mice. miR-34a-5p was selected due to its upregulation by TNF-α, which was abolished by CTRP6. The miR-34a-5p inhibitor promoted whereas the miR-34a-5p mimic suppressed the effects of CTRP6 on TNF-α-induced apoptosis. CTRP6 increased AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation and reversed TNF-α-induced SIRT1 downregulation in salivary cells. AraA, an AMPK inhibitor, reversed the effects of CTRP6 on TNF-α-induced alterations in the levels of SIRT1, miR-34a-5p, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase 3 in vitro and ex vivo, whereas activating AMPK by AICAR reversed the decrease in SIRT1 expression and increase in miR-34a-5p expression induced by TNF-α. Inhibition of SIRT1 by EX527 suppressed the effects of CTRP6 on TNF-α-induced changes in miR-34a-5p and apoptosis-related proteins. Our findings indicate that salivary glands are novel sites for CTRP6 synthesis and secretion. CTRP6 protects acinar cells against TNF-α-induced apoptosis via AMPK/SIRT1-modulated miR-34a-5p expression.

Abstract
Salivary extracellular vesicles (EVs), as novel functional carriers and potential biomarkers, are usually obtained by ultracentrifugation (UC) and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based precipitation methods. However, salivary EVs obtained by these two methods have not been systematically compared. Here, we perform an in-depth analysis on EVs isolated by these two methods using proteomics. Both methods obtain EVs ranging from 40 to 210 nm, with the PEG method resulting in a wider size distribution. PEG-separated products were irregularly shaped and aggregated, while UC-separated ones were monodispersed and teacup-shaped. Additionally, the expression of EV-specific markers was higher in UC-separated EVs. Using tandem mass spectrometry proteomics, we identified and quantified 1217 kinds of saliva exosomal proteins and 361 kinds of differential proteins, showing that UC can isolate more EV-related proteins. These results offer some guidance for EV separating and provide potential direction for the use of EVs in non-invasive diagnosis.

Abstract
IgG4-related sialadenitis (IgG4-RS) is a chronic fibro-inflammatory disease characterized by swelling of salivary glands and varying degrees of xerostomia. Tight junctions (TJs) play an essential role in maintaining secretory function by regulating the paracellular flow of ions and water. However, whether TJs are altered and contribute to the hyposecretion in IgG4-RS is not fully understood. Here, a total of 399 differentially expressed proteins were identified in IgG4-RS submandibular glands (SMGs) and enriched in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton and the salivary secretion. Real-time PCR results showed that the mRNA levels of claudin-3, -4, -6, -7, -8, -10, -12, occludin, and ZO-1 were significantly lower, whereas claudin-1 and -5 were higher in IgG4-RS SMGs. Immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence staining revealed that claudin-1, -3, -4, occludin, and ZO-1 were mainly distributed at apicolateral membranes in acini and ducts of SMGs from controls, whereas claudin-1 protein intensity at apicolateral membrane was elevated, while the staining of claudin-3, -4, and ZO-1 were reduced in IgG4-RS SMGs. Occludin was dispersed into cytoplasm of acini and ducts in SMGs of patients. Among them, claudin-3 and ZO-1 protein levels were positively correlated with saliva flow rate. Furthermore, the decreased fluorescence intensity of F-actin at peri-apicolateral membranes and the loss of ZO-1 staining at the same location were observed in acinar and ductal cells of IgG4-RS SMGs, which might be responsible for disorganization of TJ complex. Taken together, these findings indicate that the integrity of TJ complex of SMGs is impaired and might contribute to hyposalivation of IgG4-RS patients.

Abstract
Gingivitis is still considered a major risk factor for the occurrence and progression of periodontal disease. The aim of the present study was to compare the long-term (1, 12, and 18 weeks) antiplaque and antigingivitis efficacies of two commercially available toothpastes, Colgate Total® (CT) and BlueM® (BM), against attached supragingival dental plaque and gingival inflammation in an experimental gingivitis model. A parallel double-blinded randomized clinical trial including 39 dental students who refrained from all plaque control methods (manual or chemical) for 7 days was conducted. After the establishment of clinical gingivitis, participants were randomized into two experimental groups (CT and BM). Plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI) were then calculated according to Turesky's modified Quigley and Hein index. Participants were assessed in four time periods (preclinical trial phase (W −1), gingivitis phase (W0), one week (W1), twelve weeks (W12), and eighteen weeks (W18)). Participants' stimulated saliva was collected and cultured (either aerobically or anaerobically, 37°C, 48 hours) in each time period (W −1, W0, W1, W12, and W18) for the count of viable colonies. Obtained data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). No significant differences were found (p > 0.05) between experimental groups at W −1. Significant differences between groups were observed at W0 (p < 0.05) for the parameter time period, but not for the interaction between parameters (time period ∗ toothpastes). Lower bacterial counts were observed in both groups after one week of toothbrushing; however, no significant differences were found between investigated dentifrices. Intra- and intergroup comparisons revealed that significant differences were not found (p > 0.05) between dentifrices at W1, W12, and W18 for both GI and PI. The present study demonstrated that toothpastes containing active oxygen and lactoferrin (BM) have comparable antiplaque and antigingivitis efficacies with triclosan-containing toothpastes (CT).

Abstract
Aging has pronounced effects on mammalian tissues and cells, but the impacts of aging on salivary gland function are relatively unknown. This study aims to evaluate the effects of aging on submandibular gland (SMG) and parotid gland (PG) functions in the male senescence-accelerated mouse. In vivo analysis at the systemic level revealed that salivary secretion induced by pilocarpine, a muscarinic agonist, from the SMG was significantly decreased in aged mice, whereas salivary secretion from the PG was not affected. To evaluate organ-level function, the SMG was perfused with the muscarinic agonists carbachol and calcium ionophore A23187 ex vivo to induce salivary secretion, and decreased saliva production was also observed in the aged SMG. Histological analysis revealed the presence of CD4-positive lymphocytes infiltrating the aged SMG. Furthermore, real-time PCR revealed that the aged SMG exhibited accelerated cell aging, increased levels of the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6, and decreased mRNA levels of the water channel protein aquaporin-5 (AQP5). In summary, these results demonstrate that SMG function in aged mice was diminished, and that cell senescence, chronic inflammation, and the decreased gene expression of AQP5 are the likely causes of hyposalivation in the SMG of aged mice.

Abstract
Saliva, as the first body fluid encountering with the exogenous materials, has good correlation with blood and plays an important role in bioanalysis. However, saliva has not been studied as much as the other biological fluids mainly due to restricted access to its large volumes. In recent years, there is a growing interest for saliva analysis owing to the emergence of miniaturized sample preparation methods. The purpose of this paper is to review all microextraction methods and their principles of operation. In the following, we examine the methods used to analyze saliva up to now and discuss the potential of the other microextraction methods for saliva analysis to encourage research groups for more focus on this important subject area.

Abstract
To provide an extensive literature review on the clinical indications of oral mucosa grafts (OMG) and minor salivary gland grafts (MSGG) in periorbital reconstruction together with safe practice graft harvesting techniques to minimize donor-site morbidity. A literature review was performed by searching the databases of PUBMED, EMBASE, and COCHRANE library using the keywords: minor salivary glands; oral mucosal graft; orbit; and eye. The bibliographies of the pertinent articles were examined for additional papers. Indications for OMG include treatment of recurrent pterygia; socket contracture in anophthalmic patients; repair of eyelid deformities; ocular surface and fornix reconstruction following tumour resection, cicatricial ocular surface disorders, or chemical burns. More novel uses include repair of glaucoma aqueous drainage device erosions or leaking trabeculectomy blebs; scleral buckle exposure; and keratoprosthesis-related corneal melts as well as lining the dacryocystorhinostomy tract to prevent closure. Simultaneous MSGG transplantation may be used in the treatment of severe dry eyes or dry anophthalmic cavities. Harvesting from the inner cheek is preferred to lower lip as it causes less post-operative discomfort and neurosensory deficits. Suturing is recommended for smaller ovoid grafts as it allows less painful closure without tension, while larger rectangular defects are best left to heal by secondary intention. OMG and MSGG transplantation is a viable alternative to replace conjunctiva and restore the ocular surface. The donor site is readily accessible and widely available in most patients, grafting is fast and cheap, and the same site may undergo repeated harvesting with few donor site complications.

Abstract
Saliva is a complex fluid produced by 3 pairs of major salivary glands and by hundreds of minor salivary glands. It comprises a large variety of constituents and physicochemical properties, which are important for the maintenance of oral health. Saliva not only protects the teeth and the oropharyngeal mucosa, it also facilitates articulation of speech, and is imperative for mastication and swallowing. Furthermore, saliva plays an important role in maintaining a balanced microbiota. Thus, the multiple functions provided by saliva are essential for proper protection and functioning of the body as a whole and for the general health. A large number of diseases and medications can affect salivary secretion through different mechanisms, leading to salivary gland dysfunction and associated oral problems, including xerostomia, dental caries and fungal infections. The first part of this review article provides an updated insight into our understanding of salivary gland structure, the neural regulation of salivary gland secretion, the mechanisms underlying the formation of saliva, the various functions of saliva and factors that influence salivary secretion under normal physiological conditions. The second part focuses on how various diseases and medical treatment including commonly prescribed medications and cancer therapies can affect salivary gland structure and function. We also provide a brief insight into how to diagnose salivary gland dysfunction.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is a life-saving treatment for head and neck cancers, but almost 100% of patients develop dry mouth (xerostomia) because of radiation-induced damage to their salivary glands. Patients with xerostomia suffer symptoms that severely affect their health as well as physical, social and emotional aspects of their life. The current management of xerostomia is the application of saliva substitutes or systemic delivery of saliva-stimulating cholinergic agents, including pilocarpine, cevimeline or bethanechol tablets. It is almost impossible for substitutes to replicate all the functional and sensory facets of natural saliva. Salivary stimulants are a better treatment option than saliva substitutes as the former induce the secretion of natural saliva from undamaged glands; typically, these are the minor salivary glands. However, patients taking cholinergic agents systemically experience pharmacology-related side effects including sweating, excessive lacrimation and gastrointestinal tract distresses. Local delivery direct to the buccal mucosa has the potential to provide rapid onset of drug action, i.e. activation of minor salivary glands within the buccal mucosa, while sparing systemic drug exposure and off-target effects. This critical review of the technologies for the local delivery of saliva-stimulating agents includes oral disintegrating tablets (ODTs), oral disintegrating films, medicated chewing gums and implantable drug delivery devices. Our analysis makes a strong case for the development of ODTs for the buccal delivery of cholinergic agents: these must be patient-friendly delivery platforms with variable loading capacities that release the drug rapidly in fluid volumes typical of residual saliva in xerostomia (0.05-0.1 mL).

Abstract
Objective/Aims The aim of this study was to measure continuously the intraoral pH and temperature of healthy individuals to investigate their diurnal variations. Materials and Methods Seventeen participants (mean age, 31±9 years) wore a custom-made intraoral appliance fitted with a pH probe and thermocouple for two sets of 24 h, while carrying out normal daily activities including sleep. The continuous changes in intraoral pH and temperature were captured using a sensor placed on the palatal aspect of the upper central incisors. The collected data were categorised into different status (awake and sleep) and periods (morning, afternoon, evening and night). Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted. Results The intraoral pH change was found to show a distinctive daily rhythm, showing a 12-h interval between maximum (7.73) and minimum (6.6) pH values. The maximum and minimum values were found to repeat after 24 h. The mean pH over 48 h (two sets of 24 h) was found to be 7.27 (±0.74). There was significant difference found in pH when subjects were awake and asleep and different periods during the day (P<0.001). The mean intraoral temperature was 33.99 °C (±4.9), with less distinctive daily rhythm compared with pH. There was a significant difference found in temperature depending on the time of the day, except between morning and afternoon (P=0.78). Conclusion Our results showed that there is a distinctive daily, circadian-like pattern in intraoral pH variation over a 24-h period, which has been considered as one of the risk factors in sleep-related dental diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the stability of the unstimulated saliva flow rate (USFR) and the stimulated saliva flow rate (SSFR) in children followed from age 7 to 12 years old. METHODS Longitudinal study. Whole saliva samples were collected from school children (50 girls and 50 boys). Forty-four girls and 32 boys remained in this cohort for 6 years (dropout rate 24%). Variables that could influence USFR or SSFR patterns were analyzed in a repeated-measures manova. RESULTS Over a 6-year follow-up, the children's USFR ranged from 0.41 to 0.46 mL/min in the initial and final observation, respectively, and showed no significant differences (P = 0.4455) during the follow-up. The children consistently belonged to one of three distinct SSFR groups (P < 0.0001). A repeated-measures manova model showed that USFR and SSFR were not associated with sex, body mass index, or indoor temperature during sampling. CONCLUSION These results indicate that USFR and SSFR patterns were stable from 7 to 12 years old. This finding may be useful in oral health prevention or treatment and in the search for biomarkers in saliva for screening or diagnostic purposes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between minor salivary gland (MSG) flow rates and oral dryness degrees in patients with xerostomia induced by primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), IgG4-related sialadenitis (IgG4-RS), radiation therapy-induced dry mouth (RTDM), or Steven-Johnson syndrome (SJS). DESIGN 160 patients with pSS, IgG4-RS, RTDM, or SJS and their age- and sex-matched healthy control subjects were enrolled. The whole saliva flow rates and MSG flow rates were measured in four locations, including the upper labial, lower labial, buccal, and palatal mucosae. The degree of oral dryness was assessed in patient groups using the summated xerostomia inventory (SXI). RESULTS The flow rates of whole saliva and most MSGs in patient groups were significantly lower than the flow rates in healthy control groups (P<0.05). The mean relative percentage of decrease in saliva flow rates was smaller in MSGs than in whole saliva in patient groups (P<0.05), indicating that these disorders have less impact on MSGs. Among the four MSG locations (the upper labial, lower labial, buccal, and palatal), buccal glands showed the highest flow rates in patient groups (P<0.05). SXI scores were significantly higher in pSS and RTDM patients than in IgG4-RS and SJS patients (P<0.05). The degree of xerostomia varied among different patient groups (P<0.05) and there was no clear correlation between MSG flow rates and SXI scores (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS MSG function is significantly reduced in pSS, RTDM, IgG4-RS, and SJS patients, but this reduction is more pronounced in the major salivary glands.
