The clearance of glucose from saliva was compared with that from spaces located in an intra-oral appliance. The spaces (N = 8) were similar in shape and size to posterior interdental spaces, and they could be sampled with a microsyringe without removing the appliance from the mouth. The subjects (N = 5) rinsed their mouths with solutions of 5, 10, or 25% glucose. Samples were obtained from a pair of spaces and from saliva at standard intervals, and they were analyzed for glucose. The rate of glucose clearance was consistently slower from the spaces than from bulk saliva, as shown by higher concentrations and longer clearance times for the spaces. The clearance curves were similar in shape, and were rectilinear when the logarithms of the concentrations were plotted against time. The rate of clearance from the spaces appears to be characteristic for an individual, as was also true of salivary clearance.
