“…The salivary alkaline phosphatase is one of the factors governing the calcium and phosphorous levels in saliva [29]. The mean salivary calcium and inorganic phosphorous levels in caries free group (Group-I) were higher as compared to caries active group (Group-II) and this difference was statistically not significant which are in accordance with the result of Gandhy and Damle [29], Marray and Shaw [30], Afshar et al [31], Cornejo et al [32], Masamurak et al [33]. These studies investigated the relationship between alkaline phosphatase and inorganic phosphorous with decayed, filled surface and observed that the level of alkaline phosphatase and inorganic phosphorous in rampant caries children was higher than the caries free children.…”

Background: Saliva is one of the most important factor in regulating oral health, with flow rate and composition changing throughout development and during disease. Saliva can affect incidence of dental caries in four general ways, firstly as a mechanical cleansing, secondly by reducing enamel solubility by means of calcium, phosphate and fluoride, thirdly by buffering and neutralizing the acids produced by cariogenic organisms and finally by anti-bacterial activity. Thus, the present study aimed to assess the levels of salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin G (IgG), proteins, calcium, inorganic phosphorous and alkaline phosphatase levels in caries free and caries active children. Material and methods: Forty school children in the age group of 12-15 years with full complement of permanent dentition except third molars were included by stratified random sampling method. They were divided into two groups of 20 each based on DMFS score, Group I-Caries free (DMFS score=0) and Group II-Caries active (DMFS score ≥ 10). Unstimulated midmorning saliva samples were collected and analyzed colorimetrically and by radial immunodiffusion method for constituents of saliva under study. Results: The mean salivary IgA levels in children in Group-I (caries free children) was 10.63±2.85 mg/dl which was statistically higher as compared to caries active children in Group-II (8.50 ± 1.43 mg/dl). The mean salivary protein level in children of Group-II was statistically higher at 3.28 ± 0.12 mg/dl as compared to Group-I (2.89 ± 0.11 mg/dl). Conclusion: An inverse relationship was noticed between the salivary IgA levels and dental caries experience and higher salivary protein levels were associated with high caries experience whereas no significant difference was observed in levels of calcium, inorganic phosphorous, alkaline phosphatase and IgG in saliva samples of children with and without dental caries.

“…Abdullah et al showed that there is no significant difference between blood calcium concentration and blood thyroid hormone concentration which is in agreement with our results 24 . In the Cornejo study, caries in the molar teeth increased as salivary levels of calcium and phosphorus decreased 25 . Sewón et al showed that people with more salivary calcium had more caries‐free teeth and less DMFT 26,27 .…”

Background and AimsHypothyroidism is the most common disease of the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormone plays a crucial role in regulating tissue growth and metabolism. Additionally, patients with thyroid dysfunction have a higher incidence of caries and periodontal problems. The presence of calcium and phosphate ions seems to be effective in remineralizing teeth and reducing caries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the salivary level of calcium in patients with hypothyroidism.ResultsThe results of this study showed that saliva calcium concentration in patients with hypothyroidism is significantly lower than healthy subjects. Also, no significant association was found between salivary calcium levels and TSH and T4 hormones level of blood.ConclusionThe increased prevalence of dental caries in patients with hypothyroidism may be related to a decrease in their calcium levels.
