Comparative Evaluation of Total Antioxidant Capacity and pH of Saliva in Children with and without Early Childhood Caries.

20241 citationUniversity of Lagos

Abstract

The saliva samples of children with ECC contained higher mean TAC and lower pH values compared to those without, who had lower mean TAC and higher pH values. This suggests a relationship between antioxidant production and cariogenesis. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between TAC and the pH of saliva in children with ECC.
