Salivary flow rate, pH and buffering capacity in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment & #8211; A prospective study

Conclusion: Salivary flow rate increases significantly during fixed orthodontic treatment. Salivary pH and buffering capacity showed no significant changes suggesting that they are not sole factors for demineralization in orthodontic patients.
