this cross-sectional study evaluated the correlation of commercial chair-side saliva tests with caries status in adults.
teeth in 87 adults (20-40 years old) were clinically examined for carious lesions according to International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) criteria. The Decayed-Missing-Filling-Tooth (DMFT) and Decayed-Missing-Filling-Surface (DMFS) indexes at D1 (lesions 1-6 according to ICDAS criteria) and D3 (lesions 4-6 according to ICDAS criteria threshold and the number of active lesions, according to the Lesion Activity Assessment (LAA)) criteria were measured. The saliva parameters measured by chair-side tests were stimulated and non-stimulated saliva flow rate, saliva consistency, saliva pH, saliva buffer capacity, and lactic acid production. The statistical analyses performed were Student t-test and Mann-Whitney U test at a = 0.05 significant level.
the low resting saliva pH was related to a high value of DMFT (D1) index ( = 0.007).
among the saliva parameters measured, the values of low resting pH are associated with increased DMFT at threshold D1. None of the chair-side available saliva tests evaluated can accurately underline the tooth carious status.
这项横断面研究评估了成人临床椅旁唾液检测与龋病状况的相关性。
根据国际龋病检测与评估系统(ICDAS)标准,对87名年龄在20至40岁的成年人的牙齿进行龋损临床检查。测量了D1(根据ICDAS标准为1至6级病变)和D3(根据ICDAS标准阈值为4至6级病变以及根据病变活动评估(LAA)标准的活跃病变数量)时的龋失补牙数(DMFT)和龋失补牙面数(DMFS)指数。通过椅旁检测测量的唾液参数包括刺激和非刺激唾液流速、唾液黏稠度、唾液pH值、唾液缓冲能力和乳酸生成。所进行的统计分析为在α = 0.05显著水平下的学生t检验和曼-惠特尼U检验。
静息唾液pH值低与DMFT(D1)指数高相关(P = 0.007)。
在所测量的唾液参数中,静息pH值低与阈值D1时DMFT增加相关。所评估的任何一种椅旁唾液检测均不能准确反映牙齿龋病状况。
