Abstract
Blood diseases cause changes in oral structures, the analysis, diagnosis and interpretation of which often present particular difficulties for several reasons. Based on these considerations, the aim of the present study is to evaluate a group of patients with blood dyscrasias –all and anemia, in terms of the correlation between disease status and oral manifestations. The study group consisted of 55 children and young people, aged 6-18, hospitalized in the Clinical Hospital for Children in Galati. A control group of 68 children, of the same age and with a similar distribution by sex, selected from the patients examined and treated in two school offices, was used for comparison. Thus, the relative viscosity of the parotid saliva is 1.5 of the submandibular saliva of 3.4 and of the sublingual saliva of 13.4. Viscosity also depends on the amount of mucin, which in turn is inversely proportional to the amount of secreted saliva. In conditions such as blood dyscrasias, the rate of resting salivary flow and the rate of stimulated salivary flow decrease, thus increasing both carioactivity and individual cariogenic risk
