title: [The number of salivary corpuscles in healthy subjects and in patients with periodontal disease].
abstract: Using a standardized, well reproducible method, the authors determined the number of salivary corpuscles in 174 healthy subjects (1,400 to 2,000/microliter) and 109 patients with periodontal disease (5,300 to 7,800/microliter). The statistical analysis revealed a highly significant difference between the two groups. There was a positive correlation between the number of salivary corpuscles and periodontal disease indices.
