Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to use biostatistics in order to get more information about materials behaviour in bioliquids. As physiological solutions, Ringer 2 and artificial saliva were used. The experimental data from electrochemical measurements (pH and potential) were treated in a statistical manner, and prediction for long term behaviour of biomaterials was carried out.
