Article Synopsis
- Chronic periodontitis (CP) is an infectious disease affecting gum attachment and is classified into mild, moderate, and severe stages, with saliva playing a crucial role in oral tissue health.* -
- A study involving 60 participants analyzed the unstimulated and stimulated saliva flow rates across different severity levels of chronic periodontitis, revealing significant changes based on clinical attachment levels.* -
- The results showed that as the severity of periodontitis increased, both unstimulated and stimulated salivary flow rates decreased significantly, highlighting the impact of gum disease on saliva production.*
