ABSTRACT
Oral hygiene, saliva and its constituents have crucial role in the development of dental caries. AIM:
To correlate the Total Antioxidant Level (TAL), pH and Flow Rate (FR) of unstimulated saliva with caries.DESIGN:
sixty children aged 6-13 years attended to the department of Pedodontics were selected. Caries Active (CA, n=30) and Caries Free (CF, n=30).METHODOLOGY:
Salivary antioxidant level estimated by Phosphomolybdenum method, pH by digital pH meter and FR measured in milliliter/minute.RESULTS:
Total antioxidant level was significantly high in CA(0.19) than CF children (0.08), pH (CA 5.96, CF 7.13) and FR (CA 0.32 ml/min, CF 0.42 ml/min) were less in caries active and more in free group.CONCLUSION:
Higher level of total antioxidant level, lower level of pH and FR among caries active children can be used as a caries risk indicator
