Even though the increasing interest in fermented milk, the information on the influence of fermented milk on oral health in literature is sparce. We have investigated the effect of fermented milk on saliva. Thirty-three healthy unmedicated subjects at the age of their twenties were included in this study and divided into control, fermented milk, and milk groups. And, the experiment period was 70 days. The authors examined the number of salivary S.mutans, Lactobacilli, pH, and viscosity at the beginning of the experiment. And, we investigated the changes of the these factors at 10,40, and 70 days after. The authors came to the following conclusions The obtined results were as follows : 1. There were no significant changes in the numbers of saliary S. mutans in the control, fermented milk, andmilk groups through the experimental period. 2. There was no significant change in the number of salivary lactobacilli in the fermented milk group throiugh the experimental period. 3. There was a decrease in salivary pH after 40 and 70 days in fermented milk group. 4. There were no significant changes in the values of salivary viscosity at a low shear rate in all groups, but there were increases in these values at a high shear rate in the fermented milk and milk groups through the experimental period.

As fermented milk has been regarded as health food, the consumption of fermented milk has been increasing significantly these days. But there is not sufficient information on the effect of fermented milk on oral health. We have investigated the effect of long-term intake of t\fermented milk on saliva in preschool children, Sixty-four healthy, unmedicated preschool children were included in this study and were divided into control, fermented milk, and milk groups. The experimental period was 210days. We investigated the number of slaivary S. mutans, lactobacilli, and Candida, salivary pH, viscosity, and the concentration of salivary IgA at the beginning of the experiment. We examined these parameters at 10, 60, 110, 160, and 210 days after. The obtained results were as follows : 1. There were increases in the numbers of slaivary S. mutans in all groups through the experimental period. But, there was no consistent and significant difference among groups. 2. There was no significant change in the number of salivary lactobacilli in the fermented milk group throughout the experimental period. 3. The numbers of salivary Candida in the fermented milk and milk groups showed less fluctuation than that of the control group through the experimental period. 4. There was no decrease of salivary pH in all groups through the experimental period. 5. There were increases in the values of salivary viscosity in all groups. But, there was no consistent and significant difference among groups. 6. There were no consistent and significant difference in the concentration of salivary IgA in all groups through the experimental period. 7. There were increases of dmfs rate in all groups. But, there were no significant difference within each groups.

연구목적: 본 연구는 액상발효유, 스터드 타입 및 드링크 타입 농후발효유가 정상법랑질 표면에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법: 3종의 유산균 발효유와 대조군인 제주삼다수에 우치시편을 8일 동안 매일 10분씩 4회 처리하고 그 외의 시간에는 인공타액에 침지하는 pH 순환처리를 시행한 후 표면미세경도 측정과 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 표면 형태를 관찰하였다. 연구결과: 3종의 유산균 발효유군 모두 대조군에 비해 표면경도차(ΔVHN)가 크게 나타났다. 이 중 액상발효유군은 표면경도차(ΔVHN)가 가장 크게 나타났으며, 주사전자현미경에 의한 법랑질 표면 형태 관찰에서도 가장 심한 표면 손상이 확인되었다. 결론: 유산균 발효유 종류에 따른 물리적 성상과 pH가 치아표면에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 유산균 발효유의 치아부식증 발생 가능성을 고위험군에게 알림으로써 섭취 시 이를 고려하도록 하며, 치아부식증을 줄일 수 있는 예방적 연구가 계속적으로 필요하리라 생각된다.
