"The Zinc (Zn) concentration was determined from salivary gland of Wistar King A (WKA) rats. The salivary glands are divided in to sub-lingual, sub-mandible and parotis. The Zn concentration was determined within 15-60 minutes of restraint stress. Concentration of Zn in sub-mandible, parotis and sub-Lingual glands was significantly higher (p<0.001) than in the control group. Further more at Zinc concentration in sub-mandible gland at 30 min restraint stress was increase (p<0.001), and decrease significantly at 49 min by restraint stress. By the way, Zn concentration in parotis gland was increase significantly (p<0.0001) after 60 min restraint stress. The results suggest that Zn is linked to oral saliva under physiological stimuli, and that Zn accumulates in the salivary gland during salivary enzyme activity."

""Minimally invasive management of caries is critical to realizing the goal of giving patients teeth for life. The effective practice of modern caries management depends on a shift to a medical rather than a surgical approach to prevention and treatment, combined with good working knowledge and understanding of state-of-the-art materials and techniques. This multi-author book provides succinct, authoritative, evidence-based insight into the many, varied, recent developments in cariology, together with essential information and guidance of immediate practical relevance to the forward-thinking practitioner." -- Publisher's website."
