| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Saliva plays an important role in mastication, which improves systemic health and the quality of life. Volume and chemical properties are major features of saliva. Although masticatory stimulation has been shown to increase the volume of saliva, the changes induced in its chemical composition have not been clarified. Mass spectrometry-based metabolomic methods enable the simultaneous profiling of hundreds of salivary metabolites, and may be useful for obtaining a chemical profile of saliva. Here, we comprehensively quantified small hydrophilic salivary metabolites to reveal the effect of occlusal and masticatory stimulations on their profiles. Masticatory stimulations showed different metabolomic profiles in patients with intact and defective bilateral molar regions. Additionally, unstimulated and stimulated saliva showed different metabolomic profiles. These results indicated that masticatory stimulations induced both quantitative and qualitative changes to the composition of saliva.
