“…In the present study, the mean BCSS at baseline was 9.58, which increased to 9.71 postdiet counseling, found to be statistically nonsignificant. This finding is in accordance with several studies 7 22 28 which concluded that there is a weak correlation between the buffering capacity and caries activity. Our study was in contrast to the study conducted by Ericsson, 30 which showed that the salivary buffering capacity has a negative relationship with caries incidence.…”

“…27 In the present study, the mean resting pH prior to diet counseling in caries-active individuals was found to be 7.05, which increased to 7.08 postdiet counseling, which was not statistically significant. This finding was in correlation with the study conducted by Dogra et al 28 and Wu et al, 26 which stated that caries-active children had a mean resting pH of 7.20 and 7.17 respectively. Preethi et al 7 evaluated the mean resting pH of saliva in caries-free and caries-active children as 7.18 and 7.15 respectively.…”

AimThis study was aimed to assess the salivary parameters and caries activity test (Oratest) in high-caries-risk individuals and effect of diet modification and parental education on salivary parameters and Oratest.Materials and methodsForty-five children aged between 5 and 8 years and decayed, extracted due to caries, filled teeth (deft)/decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT) scores >5 were selected and evaluated for salivary parameters, such as hydration status of oral mucosa, resting pH, unstimulated salivary flow rate (USFR) and stimulated salivary flow rate (SSFR), buffering capacity of stimulated saliva (BCSS) before and after diet counseling using GC India Saliva Check Kit. Oratest was performed to assess the caries activity. Children’s parents were asked to record 5 to 7 days diet chart. Diet charts were collected and based on the evaluation of specific diet charts, diet counseling was provided. After 6 weeks, salivary parameters and Oratest were reevaluated. Baseline and postdiet counseling salivary parameters were subjected to statistical analysis using Student’s t-test (paired) and Wilcoxon signed rank test.ResultsFrom baseline to 6 weeks, USFR and SSFR were increased which were statistically significant. Buffering capacity and resting pH increased slightly but was not statistically significant. The reading of Oratest increased significantly, indicating a decreased caries activity in individuals.ConclusionIt can be concluded that diet counseling, parental education, and regular motivation can positively alter salivary parameters, such as USFR and SSFR.How to cite this article: Jain S, Bansal K, Marwaha M, Sehrawat N, Singla S.

“…Analogues results were reported previously (35,36)where resting salivary ow rate was increased highly signi cantly in CF individuals. It was also like the other observations where the results of various studies showed that alterations in saliva properties play an essential role in protection against dental caries (37)(38)(39).…”

Background: Dental caries development is a complex and dynamic process which is influenced by wide array of factors, of which dietary habits and salivary physicochemical biomarkers are of most significance. Salivary markers such as flow rate, pH and buffering capacity play a major role in the development of caries. In this study the relationship between these salivary marker among caries free and caries active was measured.Methods: In this analytical cross sectional study, multistage stratified sampling technique was used, 700 private and public school children of different socioeconomic class, between six to sixteen years of age were selected. The status of dental caries was determined through dental examination using DMFT index. Unstimulated whole saliva was collected through Passive Drool Method and the selected physiochemical properties were assessed. The mean difference between caries free and caries active groups was noted and to identify significant risk factors for caries logistic regression analysis was performed.Results: Comparison of salivary parameters between the two groups (caries free, caries active) showed that, there is significant decrease in mean value for salivary flow rate and buffering capacity in caries active group i.e., p<0.001. Risk factors were found to be significantly high in caries active group with flow rate (OR=20.06; p< 0.001), pH (OR=1.82; p= 0.90) and buffer capacity (OR=8.76; p=0.79). Conclusion: Research showed that participants with active caries have lower resting salivary flow rates than caries free subjects. Caries free participants had a normal range of salivary pH and better buffering capacity than participants with active caries.

ÖZETABS TRACT Amaç: Çocuklarda diş çürüğü ile tükürük akım oranı ve tükürük pH'ının ilişkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi Çocuk Diş Kliniği'ne başvuran ve yaşları 5-13 arasında değişen, 180 çocuk hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların cinsiyet, yaş, diş fırçalama sıklığı ve anne tahsilini içeren formu dolduruldu. Hastalar yaş gruplarına göre 60 kişilik 3 gruba (5-7, 8-10 ve 11-13 yaş) ayrıldı. Bu üç farklı yaş grubundaki hastalar kendi içinde grup 1 (kontrol: çürüksüz), grup 2 (1-5 arası çürük diş) ve grup 3 (6 ve daha çok çürük diş) olarak 20'şer kişilik gruplara ayrıldı. Çocukların tükürük örnekleri sabah 9.00-10.00 saatleri arasında alınarak tükürük pH'ı ve akım hızı değerleri ölçüldü. Bulgular: Araştırmamıza katılan 180 çocuk hastanın %49,45'i kız, %50,55'i erkekti. Cinsiyetle çürük diş sayısı, tükürük pH'ı ve akım hızı arasında istatistiksel bir fark gözlenmedi. Tüm yaş gruplarındaki çocuklarda tükürük akım hızı ve pH ile çürük diş sayısı arasında negatif ilişki saptandı (p<0,001). Ayrıca tüm yaş gruplarındaki çocuklarda tükürük pH değeri ile akım oranı değerleri arasında, pozitif korelasyon görüldü (p<0,01). Fırçalama sıklığı ile çürük diş sayısı arasında negatif ilişki saptanıp fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (p<0,001), ancak anne tahsili ile çürük diş sayısı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki saptanamadı (p<0,354). Gruplar arasındaki (5-7, 8-10 ve 11-13 yaş) çürük diş sayısı ile tükürük pH değeri ilişkisine bakıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptandı (sırasıyla p<0,004, p<0,004, p<0,001). Aynı şekilde çürük diş sayısı ile tükürük akım oranı ilişkisine bakıldığında (5-7, 8-10 ve 11-13 yaş) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptandı (sırasıyla p<0,002, p<0,028, p<0,001). Sonuç: Çocuklarda çürük diş sayısı arttıkça, tükürük pH'ının ve akım hızının düşük olduğunu gözlemlendi.

Aim:The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of salivary flow rate and salivary pH on dental caries in children. Materials and Methods: One hundred eighty children ages ranging from 5 to 13 years who were admitted to Pediatric Dental Clinic of Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Medicine Hospital were included in the study. A questionnaire about age, gender, frequency of tooth brushing and their mother's education status was filled in by all of the patients. The patients were divided into 3 groups, each consisting of 60 patients according to their ages (5-7, 8-10 and 11-13 years). These three groups were allocated to the 20-person groups as group 1 (control with no tooth decay), group 2 (1-5 tooth decay) and group 3 (6 or more tooth decay). Children's saliva samples were taken in the morning between 9:00-10:00 hours and their salivary pH and flow rates were measured. Results: Of the 180 patients 49.44% were ...
