Calcium and Inorganic Phosphorous Levels in Stimulated and Unstimulated Saliva in Early Childhood Caries – A Comparative Study

Abstract: <strong>Introduction</strong>: Saliva, a chief player in the oral cavity, is determined by its secretion rate and quality to aid either in the development of caries, or its remineralization. The ability for saliva to function as a source of calcium and phosphate increases its supportive properties as it influences the precipitation or dissolution of calcium hydroxyapatite (HAP), the principal inorganic component of dental hard tissue.<p><strong>Materials&amp;Methods</strong>: … Show more

“… 33 , 51 Jolly et al evaluated salivary calcium and phosphorus and found an increase in salivary calcium levels in caries free children and no difference in salivary phosphorus between ECC and caries free children. 52 Similarly, Gandhy and Damle reported an increase in inorganic phosphate level in children with rampant caries. 53 The increase in salivary calcium levels in caries active children could be due to release of calcium from demineralized tooth, thereby increasing salivary calcium levels.…”

“…(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38) Also, while large population-based studies found no association between BMI and ECC [33,[39][40][41] longitudinal studies have indicated that malnutrition causes ECC [42], ECC causes stunting, and underweights have more ECC [43], ECC and obesity are both risk factors for type 2 diabetes [44]. Severe ECC is associated with micronutrient deficiencies such as iron deficiency anemia (45,46) which reduces salivary flow; [3,47] vitamin D [2,4,48,49] vitamin A, calcium and albumin deficiencies which causes enamel hypoplasia/hypomineralization [50,51], and lose of the protective effect of iron, vitamins and zinc for the teeth. (52) Malnutrition accounted for 21% to 50% of under-5 deaths and a large proportion of morbidity [53,54] in low and middle-income countries in 2017.…”
