Abstract:

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). The two groups were compared for the concentration of S-IgA assessed with Nephlometric method. The obtained data were analyzed by using t-test and through SPSS 15 software. Results: Mean saliva concentration of S-IgA in children with SECC (18.30 mg/dl) was higher than that in children without SECC (9.46 mg/dl) and this difference was statistically Significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: According to this study, the hypothesis of lower levels of S-IgA in children with SECC might be rejected.

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 Neutrophil Apoptosis α-Defensins and Calprotectin in Children with and without Severe Early Childhood Caries

Background: The infectious nature of severe early-childhood caries (S-ECC) points to the possible participation of immunologic host responses including neutrophils and their antimicrobial products. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the neutrophil apoptosis, α-defensins (HNP1-3) and calprotectin levels in the saliva of preschool children and the association with S-ECC. Methods: ...

Resemblance of salivary protein profiles between children with early childhood caries and caries-free controls.

Although prolonged bottle feeding with a carbohydrate-rich content is commonly agreed to be the main etiologic factor for early childhood caries (ECC), in recent years additional endogenous factors, including the composition of saliva, have been suspected as predisposing factors in children for the development of this aggressive form of dental caries. As a basis for investigating the putative i...

Evaluation of salivary glucose levels among children with early childhood caries compared to children with healthy teeth

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The present study was carried out with the aim to evaluate the salivary glucose levels among children with early childhood caries (ECC) compared to a group of healthy children without any caries and help control ECC.METHODS: 55 children with an age range of 5-6 years were selected from some kindergartens. Then the subjects were divided into two groups of with ECC & without E...
