ABSTRACT

Objective:

To evaluate the relationship between dental caries and levels of salivary albumin in unstimulated saliva of adults between the age group of 18 and 40 years from Chennai with varying caries experience as determined by their Decayed Missing Filled Teeth (DMFT) scores. Material and

Methods:

The study was conducted on 60 healthy adult subjects with age group between 18 and 40 years. The healthy subjects without any chronic diseases, gingival or periodontal problems were selected. The patients were divided into four groups according to DMFT status as Group 1, DMFT 0; Group2, DMFT 1 5; Group 3, DMFT 6 10; and Group 4, as DMFT above 10. Unstimulated saliva samples were collected from each subjects and the salivary albumin levels were estimated using the bromocresol green method (albumin colorimetric test). The obtained data was statistically analysed using one way ANOVA and Tukey`s Honestly Significant Difference test.

Results:

The mean salivary albumin levels for the groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 were .086 ± .009 mg/ ml, .083 ±.006 mg/ml, .070 ± .008 mg/ml and .056 ±.009 mg/ml respectively. There was an increase in incidence of caries with decrease in salivary albumin level. There was a statistically significant difference among the groups except group 1 and 2.

Conclusion:

There is a significant relationship between the salivary albumin level and the incidence of dental caries. An increase in incidence of caries with decrease in salivary albumin levels was seen suggestive of its importance in maintenance of tooth integrity. (AU)
RESUMO

Objetivo:

Avaliar a relação entre cárie dentária e níveis de albumina salivar na saliva não estimulada de adultos entre a faixa etária de 18 e 40 anos da população de Chennai com experiência de cárie variável, conforme determinado pelos escores do índice de dentes cariados, perdidos e obturados (CPOD). Material e

Métodos:

O estudo foi realizado em 60 indivíduos adultos saudáveis com faixa etária entre 18 e 40 anos. Os indivíduos saudáveis sem doenças crônicas, problemas gengivais ou periodontais foram selecionados. Os pacientes foram divididos em quatro grupos de acordo com o status CPOD como Grupo 1, CPOD 0; Grupo 2, CPOD 1 5; Grupo 3, CPOD 6 10; e Grupo 4, como CPOD acima de 10. Amostras de saliva não estimuladas foram coletadas de cada indivíduo e os níveis de albumina salivar foram estimados usando o método de bromocresol verde (teste colorimétrico da albumina). Os dados obtidos foram analisados estatisticamente usando one way ANOVA e teste de Tukey.

Resultados:

Os níveis médios de albumina salivar para os grupos 1, 2, 3 e 4 foram de 0,086 ± 0,009 mg / ml, 0,083 ± 0,006 mg / ml, 0,070 ± 0,008 mg / ml e 0,056 ± 0,009. mg / ml, respectivamente. Houve aumento na incidência de cárie com diminuição do nível de albumina salivar. Houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos exceto grupo 1 e 2.

Conclusão:

Existe uma relação significativa entre o nível de albumina salivar e a incidência de cárie dentária. Um aumento na incidência de cáries com diminuição nos níveis de albumina salivar foi visto como sugestivo de sua importância na manutenção da integridade dentária.(AU)
