Evaluation of Salivary and Serum Alpha Amylase Level in Dental Caries of Adolescence

Brazilian Dental Science, 2016
Objective: Some previous studies suggested a significant relationship between alpha- amylase, and caries formation. This study was implemented in order to investigate the interrelation between level of salivary and serum alpha- amylase and dental caries.

Effects of filtration and alpha-amylase depletion on salivary biochemical composition measurements.

PLoS ONE, 2023
The effects of filtration (F) and alpha-amylase depletion (AD) were assessed in n = 34 saliva samples. Each saliva sample was split into three aliquots and treated as follows: (1) no treatment; (2) 0.45μm commercial filter; and (3) 0.45μm commercial ...

Impact of calcium on salivary α-amylase activity, starch paste apparent viscosity and thickness perception [PDF]

, 2011
Thickness perception of starch-thickened products during eating has been linked to starch viscosity and salivary amylase activity. Calcium is an essential cofactor for α-amylase and there is anecdotal evidence that adding extra calcium affects ...
