This paper gives information on the flow rate of mixed whole saliva, stimulated by chewing, from the age at which the child can first co-operate in sampling adulthood. The salivary flow rate increased with age and boys had consistently higher rates than girls. As far as the flow rate is concerned the salivary glands seemed to be fully developed at the age of 15. When the flow rate was determined under standardized conditions, it was relatively stable, not only during daytime and from day to day but also over a longer period of time. Neither the time of day when the sample was taken nor the timing in relation to the last meal could be found to be of significant importance to the flow rate. Furthermore, repeated sampling did not affect the results as the children "learned" how to spit. In the great majority of cases a single determination, using the simple method employed in this study, must be considered fully adequate. However, at a very low flow rate repeated sampling reduces the risk of obtaining a misleading extreme value due to individual variation.
本文提供了关于从儿童首次能够配合采样到成年期咀嚼刺激下混合全唾液流速的信息。唾液流速随年龄增长而增加，男孩的流速始终高于女孩。就流速而言，唾液腺在15岁时似乎已完全发育。在标准化条件下测定流速时，它相对稳定，不仅在白天和每天之间，而且在更长的时间段内都是如此。未发现采样时间或与最后一餐的时间关系对流速有显著影响。此外，重复采样不会影响结果，因为孩子们“学会”了如何吐痰。在绝大多数情况下，使用本研究中采用的简单方法进行单次测定必须被认为是完全足够的。然而，在流速非常低的情况下，重复采样可降低因个体差异而获得误导性极值的风险。
