Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the effect of mobile phones on salivary flow rate and protein concentration in parotid saliva by comparing the dominant and non-dominant sides of prolonged WATER VIOLET mobile phone users.Materials and Methods: Parotid saliva was collected simultaneously from both the glands in 50 healthy volunteers by using sialographic cannula.The obtained results were statistically analyzed using Brakes paired t-test.Results: Salivary secretion rate was significantly less on the dominant side of mobile phone usage.

There was no such significance in protein concentration on comparing the dominant side with the non-dominant side.Conclusion: It was concluded that there was a change in the functional activities of the parotid gland in prolonged mobile phone users.
