INFRARED SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES ON HUMAN SALIVA. I. ORIGIN OF A COMPONENT OF HUMAN SALIVA EXHIBITING AN INFRARED ABSORBANCE MAXIMUM AT 12 MICRONS

Abstract

The salivary component which produces the absorption peak at 12 microns in the infrared spectrum appeared to be a product of the salivary glands. This factor was found in parotid and submaxillary saliva of both caries-immune and caries-susceptible individuals. The component disappeared in the whole saliva of certain caries-susceptible individuals and was not demonstrable in dental plaque, either f caries-immune or cariessusceptible subjects. (Author)
