The Relationship between the Caries Activity Test (Snyder) and Salivary IgA Level by T. ALACAM*,

In this study, the relationship between the results of the caries activity test (Snyder) and salivary IgA level were investigated statistically. There was no significant difference between caries-resistant and slightly cariesactive groups (p>0.05), although there were significant differences between moderately active and slightly active and between moderately active and caries-resistant groups at the level of p<0.05. There were statistical relationships between caries-active and moderately active groups, moderately active and slightly active groups, and between slightly active or caries-active and caries-resistant groups at the level of p<0.01.
