“…Some of the foods that are higher in vitamin C include (contents of mg/100 g): peppers at 125–200 mg; kale at 120–180 mg; collard greens at 100–150 mg; broccoli at 90–150 mg; spinach at 50–90 mg; strawberries at 40–90 mg; cauliflower at 60–80 mg; and citrus fruits at 50 mg [146]. Scurvy as a vitamin C deficiency has not been completely eradicated despite its simplicity and known manifestations [147,148,149]. Some states that induce oxidative stress will also create lower plasma concentrations of the vitamin such as with smoking and diabetes [150,151,152,153,154,155].…”

Saliva is easily obtainable for medical research and requires little effort or training for collection. Because saliva contains a variety of biological compounds, including vitamin C, malondialdehyde, amylase, and proteomes, it has been successfully used as a biospecimen for the reflection of health status. A popular topic of discussion in medical research is the potential association between oxidative stress and negative outcomes. Systemic biomarkers that represent oxidative stress can be found in saliva. It is unclear, however, if saliva is an accurate biospecimen as is blood and/or plasma. Exercise can induce oxidative stress, resulting in a trend of antioxidant supplementation to combat its assumed detriments. Vitamin C is a popular antioxidant supplement in the realm of sports and exercise. One potential avenue for evaluating exercise induced oxidative stress is through assessment of biomarkers like vitamin C and malondialdehyde in saliva. At present, limited research has been done in this area. The current state of research involving exercise-induced oxidative stress, salivary biomarkers, and vitamin C supplementation is reviewed in this article.

“…3 It has also been reported in an infant fed exclusively almond beverages 6 and in a child with end-stage renal disease whose loss of ascorbic acid was linked to peritoneal dialysis. 7 In adults, scurvy has been reported in patients with restrictive diets and eating disorders, 8 patients with either suspected or perceived ascorbic acid allergy 9 and patients with diseases causing malabsorption, such as Whipple disease 10 and Crohn disease. 8 Clinicians involved in the care of people with autism spectrum disorder should be prepared to counsel families regarding the risks of restrictive diets and the importance of vitamin supplementation when necessary.…”

Background: Scurvy, the disease resulting from vitamin C deficiency, is perceived as being rare and occurring predominantly in the past. However, scurvy continues to exist and may be encountered in children with medical/developmental conditions and/or restricted diet. Diagnosis can be challenging given the perceived rarity of the condition and nonspecific symptoms, including gingival disease. Methods:We present a series of two cases of scurvy in which the affected children presented to medical attention with dental complaints. Additional cases of scurvy are described, based on the literature review of case reports/series published in the last 10 years.
