Abstract

Objective: The objective was to develop a manually operatable, non-electric device to measure salivary spinnbarkeit for research, clinical and educational purposes.

Materials and methods: A newly developed device, named the Kamranmeter, was built and evaluated in a pilot study, comparing the spinnbarkeit of unstimulated and chew-stimulated saliva samples from healthy volunteers. The Neva Meter, which operates on electrical resistance, was used as a reference standard.

Results: The study found no statistically significant differences between the two devices when measuring the spinnbarkeit of both unstimulated and stimulated saliva samples from healthy volunteers.

Conclusions: We developed a hand-operated device to analyse salivary spinnbarkeit. The Kamranmeter performs comparably to the Neva Meter in measuring spinnbarkeit in saliva obtained from healthy volunteers.

Clinical relevance: The Kamranmeter has potential applications in diagnostic tests involving saliva, such as assessing spinnbarkeit to evaluate conditions like caries and dry mouth. Moreover, it holds promise for broader medical uses, including fertility assessments, where spinnbarkeit is a key indicator of cervical mucus quality. Its ease of handling is expected to make it well-suited for research, clinical, and educational applications.

关于卡姆兰仪的技术说明；这是一种手动操作的唾液旋压测量仪。

目的：目的是开发一种可手动操作的非电动唾液旋涡强度测量装置，用于临床研究和教育：目的是为研究、临床和教育目的开发一种可手动操作的非电动唾液旋光度测量设备：在一项试点研究中，对新开发的名为 Kamranmeter 的设备进行了构建和评估，比较了健康志愿者唾液样本在未受刺激和受咀嚼刺激情况下的唾液自旋强度。以电阻为工作原理的 Neva 测量仪被用作参考标准：研究发现，在测量健康志愿者唾液样本的未受刺激和受刺激唾液样本的自旋弯曲度时，两种设备之间没有统计学意义上的显著差异：结论：我们开发了一种用于分析唾液旋光度的手动设备。在测量健康志愿者唾液的自旋强度方面，Kamranmeter 与 Neva Meter 的性能相当：卡姆兰仪在涉及唾液的诊断测试中具有潜在的应用价值，例如通过评估唾液的自旋强度来评估龋齿和口干等疾病。此外，它还有望用于更广泛的医疗用途，包括生育能力评估，因为唾液碱性是宫颈粘液质量的一个关键指标。它易于操作，预计将非常适合研究、临床和教育应用。

期刊介绍： The journal Clinical Oral Investigations is a multidisciplinary, international forum for publication of research from all fields of oral medicine. The journal publishes original scientific articles and invited reviews which provide up-to-date results of basic and clinical studies in oral and maxillofacial science and medicine. The aim is to clarify the relevance of new results to modern practice, for an international readership. Coverage includes maxillofacial and oral surgery, prosthetics and restorative dentistry, operative dentistry, endodontics, periodontology, orthodontics, dental materials science, clinical trials, epidemiology, pedodontics, oral implant, preventive dentistiry, oral pathology, oral basic sciences and more.
