abstract

background: early childhood caries (ecc) is a common health problem in the developing countries. basic knowledge about the etiology and pathogenesis of ecc plays an important role in its prevention. objective: to determine the relationship between salivary tlr-2 concentration and early childhood caries formation methods: twenty-eight children with ages ranging from 36 to 71 months (15 in ecc group and 13 in caries free group) were chosen based on inclusion criteria. their saliva was aspirated in the volumes of 1-2 ml. resampling was done for 8 subjects of ecc group 3 months after dental restoration. tlr-2 concentration was measured using elisa. results: mean concentrations of tlr-2 in ecc and caries free group were 2.12 and 1.42 ng/ml, respectively. the difference between concentrations was statistically significant (p=0.008). three months after treatment in 8 ecc, the mean concentration of tlr-2 (0.925 ng/ml) significantly decreased compared to the original concentration in ecc (p

Association of Salivary sCD14 Concentration Levels with Early Childhood Caries

Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) is a severe type of dental caries affecting infants and pre-school children. Because of the infectious nature of the disease, the immunologic response by the host plays an essential role in its development. Objective: This study investigated the association between the presence of salivary sCD14 and ECC. Methods: This study was carried out on 40 healthy ...

Comparison of the Salivary Immu-noglobulin Concentration Levels between Children with Early Childhood Caries and Caries-Free Children

Background: Early Childhood Caries (ECC) is one of the most common chronic child-hood diseases. In spite of the global decrease in dental caries in the past decades, ECC has become a significant problem in many developing countries and also in a few indus-trialized nations. Saliva as a host factor can play an important role in the process of den-tal caries. Objective: The aim of this study was ...

Comparison of Salivary Secretory IgA in Caries-free Children and Children with Severe Early Childhood Caries

Background & Aims: Sever early childhood caries (SECC) is a multifactor common disease that unfortunately there have been a lot of unknown points about it. This study was performed to compare the levels of total S-IgA in children with and without SECC. Methods: In this cross-sectional study 44 children aged 6-24 months were divided into two groups of with SECC (n=20) and without SECC (n=24). Th...
