- The study investigates how e-cigarette use impacts the antioxidant capacity of saliva, which is crucial for maintaining oral health and balancing oxidative stress.
- It involved 110 participants divided into e-cigarette users, traditional smokers, and non-smokers, with analysis focusing on various compounds in saliva.
- The findings revealed that e-cigarette and traditional cigarette users had significantly lower total antioxidant capacity compared to non-smokers, suggesting similar adverse effects on oral health.

April 2020
Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to estimate differences in selected physicochemical properties of saliva between menopausal and premenopausal women.
Methods: The study population consisted of 9 menopausal women and 15 women of the control group. Laboratory tests included the determination of pH saliva, salivary flow rate, and concentrations of lactoferrin, lysozyme, immunoglobulin A, and ionized calcium.

The aim of this study was to estimate changes in selected physicochemical properties of saliva collected from users of electronic cigarettes. The study population consisted of 120 patients (40 users of electronic cigarettes, 40 smokers of traditional cigarettes and 40 non-smokers). Laboratory tests included verification of saliva amount of lysozyme, lactoferrin and IgA.
