Summary
This study looked at whether smoking changes saliva and makes teeth more prone to erosion. Fifty healthy volunteers wore a small device in their mouth with tooth and resin samples. Researchers measured how much calcium was lost from the samples and analyzed saliva properties like flow, pH, and protein content. The goal is to understand how smoking might increase the risk of dental erosion.
