Saliva Fluoride Bioavailability in Normal and Fast Secretors for NaF and Amine Fluoride (in-vitro Experiment I).
| NaF | Amine Fluoride | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saliva secretion rate (g/min) | Mean ±SD (µg/g F-) | Median; min/max (µg/g F-) | Mean ±SD (µg/g F-) | Median; min/max (µg/g F-) |
| Normal secretion 0.48 ± 0.16 | 251.7± 22.4 | 253.5; 200/296 | 171.6± 14.5 | 174;125/196 |
| Fast secretion 0.73 ± 0.22 | 203.7 ± 18.7 | 201; 175/243 | 153.3 ± 13.4 | 151;134/183 |
The difference between the normal and fast secretors was significant at the p<0.05 level.
