Abstract
b ackground: Several pathologies of the oral cavity have been associated with tension. The association between stress and the occurrence of oral disease is based on clinical observations, epidemiological research, and experiments with animals. Aim of study: The aim of this study was to identify the effect of acute tension on some salivary glands functions, and relationship the age with this tension Materials and Methods: Twenty three of students from AL-karama school of girls (age 7-12 year) and thirty undergraduate pharmacy females students (age 20-24 year) were participated in this study. They were asked to provide two samples of unstimulated whole saliva for 5 minutes, the first sample collected after a week end in the usual academic day as a control group, the second sample was collected after one month later in a first day of final examinations of a scholastic year. Total protein, albumin, uric acid and calcium levels in tow samples were assessed. Results & Discussion: The results showed a significant stress mediated decrease in the salivary calcium concentration (2.8813 mg/dl) in comparison with non-stressful condition (6.8020 mg/dl). and albumin concentration (1.608 g/dl were decreased by comparison with normal value (2.818 mg/ dl), while uric acid (6.874 mg/dl in sample under stress, 4.330 mg/dl in normal sample) and total protein concentrations (75.20 g/l for girl without stress, 107.15 g/l under stress) were elevated respectively all these result in age range (20–24year). While in age range (7 – 12 year) the result was as a follow:- for uric acid the value for sample under stress was highly than in normal condition (5.118 mg/dl while to sample without tension is 3.200 mg/dl). level of albumin is (2.195 g/dl to girl under stress and 4.388 g/dl in normal condition) that men there is a significant decrease in albumin level .also the result showed a significant decrease change in calcium level (2.6707mg/dl while in normal sample is 5.038 mg/dl) also we showed a significant elevation level in total protein (81.567g/l) comparison with normal sample (68.600 g/l) all these changes were statistically significant as we showed. Our search also compared between the age group and its relationship with acute tension. So, the level of uric acid in age (7-12 and 20 -24) are (5.118 mg/dl , 6.874 mg/dl) sequential ,while non-significant change in level of albumin in both age group in opposite to value of calcium and total protein we showed a highly level in age between (20- 24 year) in comparison with (7-12 year). Conclusion The results suggest that acute psychological stress exerts its effect on salivary composition and this will increase the value of saliva as dynamic biological fluid in controlling the oral health. Also this search suggest the effect of age to the composition of saliva.
