Fig. 2. Salivary parameters across different age groups. (A) Salivary flow rate by age group. (B) Salivary pH by age group. (C) Salivary buffer capacity by age group. UFR, unstimulated flow rate; SFR, stimulated flow rate; Group 1, teens; Group 2, 20s; Group 3, 30s; Group 4, 40s; Group 5, 50s; Group 6, 60s; Group 7, 70s; Group 8, 80s. The results of this analysis were obtained by ANOVA and post-hoc analysis. There was no significant difference in salivary flow rate, salivary pH and buffer capacity across the age groups (all p>0.05).
