Abstract:

Objective

To compare the pH value of various oral mucosa and the salivary buffer capacity between patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and healthy controls.

Methods

The pH value of different oral mucosa and salivary buffer capacity were tested in 30 patients with gastroesophageal reflux by using the two-point test method through precise pH testing paper, and compared with 34 healthy people.

Results

A significantly lower pH of 6.38 ± 0.33 was found in the GERD group compared to control group 7.11±0.17, and the saliva buffer capacity (SBC) of GERD group was 3.37±0.29, which was significantly lower than the control group 5.07±0.23. There was a difference in the pH value of the oral cavity in GERD group at different time, least pH was found in the floor of the mouth at 9:00 am to 11:00 am, and highest in the hard palate mucosa at 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm.

Conclusion

The oral cavity of gastroesophageal reflux patients is acidic, and the abnormal pH value should be corrected according to the specific conditions of oral cavity, in order to prevent the occurrence of oral complications.
