Saliva is a critical and useful biological fluid necessary for good health and for the appropriate execution of mouth activities. Orthodontic biomaterials have a complex relationship with many components, including the oral environment. Treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances may causes dental caries. As a result, it is necessary to comprehend how orthodontic therapy and various fluoride regimens affect the chances of developing dental cavities as well as individual risk factors. Usage of fluoride will tend to reduce the caries in the patients diagnosed with the fixed orthodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to screen the biochemical parameter of the fluoride levels in the patients undergone and completed the treatment of orthodontic fixed appliances. In this study, 35 patients have been visited on day 1 as well as day 35 and categorized as T and T groups. Saliva samples were collected and fluoride levels were measured between T and T groups. Using the fluoride kit with the spectrophotometer, fluoride levels were measured. The results confirmed similar fluoride levels between T (26.11 ± 4.86) and T (27.71 ± 4.40) groups. There was no significant association observed in this study (p = 0.56). Fluoride might have no role in the patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.
唾液是维持身体健康和口腔活动正常进行所必需的一种重要且有用的生物流体。正畸生物材料与包括口腔环境在内的许多成分有着复杂的关系。使用固定正畸矫治器进行治疗可能会导致龋齿。因此，有必要了解正畸治疗和各种氟化物治疗方案如何影响患龋齿的几率以及个体风险因素。使用氟化物往往会降低接受固定正畸治疗患者的龋齿发生率。本研究的目的是筛选接受并完成正畸固定矫治器治疗患者的氟化物水平这一生化参数。在本研究中，35名患者在第1天和第35天接受了检查，并分为T组和T组。收集唾液样本并测量T组和T组之间的氟化物水平。使用配备分光光度计的氟化物检测试剂盒测量氟化物水平。结果证实T组（26.11±4.86）和T组（27.71±4.40）之间的氟化物水平相似。本研究未观察到显著相关性（p = 0.56）。氟化物可能在接受正畸治疗的患者中不起作用。
