“…This is consistent with the findings of Dodds et al and Thaweboon et al, who found no difference in salivary flow rates in caries-active versus caries-free young adults (25,26). The results were similar in a study by Lara-Carrillo et al (27), who showed no significant difference in unstimulated salivary flow rate before and 1 month after placement of fixed orthodontic appliances.…”

Carious tooth surfaces can alter saliva in various ways. We investigated whether salivary parameters were affected by elimination of existing active dental caries in 99 children (age 6-12 years) with more than five carious tooth surfaces. Unstimulated saliva samples were obtained from each child, and salivary characteristics were evaluated. One month after caries treatment that eliminated all existing dental caries, saliva sampling and analysis were repeated. Saliva viscosity significantly decreased (P = 0.04), while pH and saliva buffering capacity significantly increased (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in unstimulated salivary production at the start of the study and 1 month after caries elimination (P > 0.05). The relationship between dental caries and salivary condition is reciprocal. Treatment of existing dental caries can prevent future caries by improving saliva quality. (J Oral Sci 55, 337-342, 2013)

“…The increased TAC levels in saliva in caries active children may be attributed to elevated protein levels. [10,12] In the present study it was found that TAC was more in children between the age group of 10-14 years than 5-9 year old children. It has been seen that availability of micronutrients is less in tribal children which may result in decreased TAC.…”

“…Studies show that salivary potassium and chloride levels have a significant relationship with active dental caries. 8 The functions of sodium include body fluid control, balancing the acid and base levels (pH), neural conduction, and blood pressure control. 9 Statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference between sodium and potassium levels in either the case or control groups.…”

“…The collected saliva was stored at -70°C and then experimented for saliva electrolytes (sodium and potassium) by flame photometer (Model G, Series 11, USA), oxidative stress indices including MDA and NO, and TAO by spectrophotometer (PH 1016, Randox, Antrim, UK). 4,8 For determining the normality or abnormality of data, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used. Differences in the mean value of salivary potassium levels and oxidative stress indices between the two groups were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U-test.…”

Aim:The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of mobile phone waves and Wi-Fi on electrolytes and oxidative stress indices of saliva. Materials and methods:A case group of 20 Wi-Fi and mobile phone users and a control group of 20 deaf people were selected. Saliva samples were obtained from both of these groups. Study variables, including the electrolytes and oxidative stress indices of saliva, were measured. The independent two-sample t-test was used to analyze the data. The statistical significance was defined at p < 0.05. Results:The mean sodium and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the case group were higher than in the control group. The results also showed that there was no significant difference between sodium and potassium levels (p = 0.163 and p = 0.892, respectively) and the oxidative stress of total antioxidant (TAO) and MDA (p = 0.138 and p = 0.115, respectively) in either of the two groups. However, there was a significant difference in salivary nitric oxide (NO) levels (p = 0.04) between the case and control groups. Conclusion:Electromagnetic waves affected the saliva composition to an extent that it caused a significant decrease in the NO levels of the case group.Clinical significance: Nitric oxide acts as an active radical in nonspecific defense mechanisms in the oral cavity. So, reduction of NO with mobile phone and Wi-Fi waves can cause disruption in the human defense system. These results illustrate the necessity of reducing contact with these waves.
