Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate whether smoking is associated with changes in salivary composition and/or predisposition to erosion.

Healthy volunteers are observationally wearing an intraoral device with both bovine tooth specimens (enamel and dentin) and resin specimens twice for two hours each. Afterwards, specimens are eroded extraorally and calcium release into the acid is measured.

Total protein concentration and protein composition of the salivary pellicles on the resin samples are measured. Additionally, salivary parameters (unstimulated and stimulated saliva flow rate, pH, buffer capacity, total protein content and protein composition as well as concentration of inorganic calcium, phosphate, and fluoride) are measured.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Calcium release from bovine enamel and dentin specimens by extraoral erosion (nmol/Square Millimeter).		Immediately after the intraoral device has been worn once for two hours.
Secondary	Determination of unstimulated and stimulated saliva flow rate (mL/min).		Saliva samples are collected for 5 min each on three visits.
Secondary	Determination of saliva pH (pH).		Saliva samples are collected for 5 min each on three visits.
Secondary	Determination of salivary buffer capacity (pH).		Saliva samples are collected for 5 min each on three visits.
Secondary	Determination of total protein content (mg/L) and protein composition (qualitatively) in saliva.		Saliva samples are collected for 5 min each on three visits.
Secondary	Determination of inorganic calcium (mmol/L), phosphate (mmol/L) and fluoride (µmol/L) in saliva.		Saliva samples are collected for 5 min each on three visits.
Secondary	Determination of total protein concentration (ng/Square Millimeter) and protein composition (qualitatively) within the salivary pellicles.		Immediately after the intraoral device with resin samples has been worn once for two hours.
