Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective of the present study is to investigate whether xerostomia and/or salivary flow rate correlate with individual chewing efficiency. Secondarily, it will also be investigated whether these parameters correlate with the dental status or the prosthetic care of the subject and what influence these factors have on oral health-related quality of life. In addition, age-specific, gender-specific and socioeconomic influences will be analyzed. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcome parameters include determination of salivary buffering capacity, determination of pH of unstimulated saliva, determination of pH of stimulated saliva, dental status, prosthetic restorations, and oral health-related quality of life. | — |
