To study the correlation between the caries status and the salivary antioxidant levels among asthmatic children.
One hundred children within the age group of 6 12 years were selected and equally subdivided into children having a history of asthma and their healthy siblings.
Salivary antioxidant levels were assessed using spectrophotometric method, and the caries status was recorded using DMFT (Decayed, missing and Filled Teeth Index) and dft (decayed, filled teeth index) index.
The salivary antioxidant levels were reduced among the asthmatic children which was statistically highly significant, whereas the caries prevalence was reduced, but not statistically significant.
研究哮喘儿童的龋齿状况与唾液抗氧化剂水平之间的相关性。
选取100名6至12岁的儿童,将其平均分为有哮喘病史的儿童及其健康的兄弟姐妹两组。
采用分光光度法评估唾液抗氧化剂水平,并用DMFT(龋失补牙指数)和dft(龋补牙指数)记录龋齿状况。
哮喘儿童的唾液抗氧化剂水平降低,具有高度统计学意义,而龋齿患病率降低,但无统计学意义。
