Abstract
Elemental composition of 30 samples of oral liquid from four groups of patients living in the Omsk Region was investigated by means of atomic emission spectral an alysis with inductively coupled plasma.
Comparative
an alysis of the composition of saliva for patients with different diseases of
oral cavity showed that the elemental composition is specific in each case. It
was established that the diagnostics of the corresponding diseases may be
carried out on the basis of the data on the ratios Ca/P and Na/K. It was
discovered with the help of mathematical statistics that the distribution of
microelements Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, Al also has group-related features. |
