Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether salivary parameters including viscosity, flow rate, pH, and buffering capacity can be affected by the elimination of the existing active dental caries.
Study design: 33 subjects between the ages of 6 and 12 years with more than 5 carious tooth surfaces were included in the study. An unstimulated saliva sample was obtained from each individual and the salivary characteristics including flow rate, viscosity, pH, and buffering capacity were evaluated. One month after performing a caries treatment procedure and eliminating all the existing dental caries, saliva sampling and analysis was performed again.
inclusion criteria:
children 6 to 12 years old; Caries-active having at least five decayed tooth surfaces
exclusion criteria:
having any systemic or local conditions affecting saliva quality and quantity; being on medications affecting the quality and quantity of saliva for the last six months; being under orthodontic therapy
