Exploring the relationship of salivary pH and flow rate with tooth wear severity: A cross-sectional study
This study shows that salivary pH was inversely associated with tooth wear severity even after correction for confounders, such as flow rate, age, and sex. This association was especially significant for SWS. Although no causal relationship can be established, the results suggest a role of salivary pH in tooth wear in patients with moderate to severe tooth wear. No association was found between tooth wear and flow rate.
