Relationship Between Oral Health-Related Quality of Life and Salivary Cortisol Levels in Children With Caries

Abstract: Methods:This experiment was observational and analytical with a cross-sectional design. The experimental data were statistically analyzed using the Kendall's tau and Spearman's rank correlations to compare the OHRQoL and salivary cortisol levels. Results:The results of this study showed that there was a small correlation (r=0.3) between the OHRQoL and salivary cortisol level with a negative trend. This suggests that if the cortisol level slow, the child's OHRQoL is high. The chronic inflammation caused by dent… Show more

“…Analysis of human saliva is a non-invasive and inexpensive test that can serve as a source of valuable information for diagnosis of several hormonal diseases including cushing's and nephrotic syndrome in adult and children [17,18]. The measurement of cortisol in saliva reflects the free and biologically active fraction of cortisol in plasma/serum.…”
