Twenty-eight healthy camels, 5 males and 23 females, aged 20\u2005months to 10\u2005years, were divided into 2 groups. Group I comprise camels with \u201clow-grade tooth surface loss\u201d and Group 2 with \u201chigh-grade tooth surface loss.\u201d Unstimulated saliva was collected by a draining method. The samples were then analyzed for sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphate concentrations using automated chemistry analysis. Data were then statistically analyzed using the unpaired Student's t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient test. The study found the salivary calcium and phosphate concentrations were significantly lower in the \u201chigh-grade\u201d erosion group, in comparison with the other group ( P\u2009&lt;\u2009.0001 and P\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u2009.0257, respectively). The results also revealed that the more extensive the tooth surface loss, the more carious lesions the subject had ( P\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u2009.023), and that caries are more common in the anterior teeth, particularly the incisors. The authors conclude that alterations in inorganic elements of saliva, particularly the calcium and phosphate ions, play a major role in the development of resistance to tooth surface loss. This work may represent a direction for future research to develop custom-made preventive supplements, which can protect camelid teeth against tooth surface loss.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08987564231177575","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,2]],"date-time":"2023-06-02T05:50:09Z","timestamp":1685685009000},"page":"270-280","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Evaluating
