- Abstract
This article discusses the results of a research study conducted to examine the composition of the saliva of individuals with Down syndrome, including the parotid gland secretion rate, pH, and electrolyte levels. The researchers seek to determine whether a low prevalence of dental caries in individuals with Down syndrome is connected to their salivary physiology.
