Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction and objectives: positive correlation have been seen between high salivary calcium content and periodontal disease. This study was designed to compare inorganic salivary calcium, phosphate, flow rate and ph, of paraffin wax stimulated saliva of patients with gingivitis; mild periodontitis; moderate periodontitis; severe periodontitis. Methods: the present study consisted of 125 patients aged between 28-42 years and were divided into five groups; control, gingivitis, mild periodontitis; moderate periodontitis and severe periodontitis. Plaque index, gingival index, clinical attachment loss and orthopentomogram scores were recorded. Salivary calcium; salivary phosphate; ph and flow rate was also observed. Results: A statistically significant relation was seen between salivary calcium, phosphate and flow rate in patients with gingivitis, mild periodontitis; moderate periodontitis and severe periodontitis. no statistically significant relation was found for salivary ph levels. Conclusion: Patients who have increased salivary parameters are more prone to risk of periodontal disease ,than those with reduced salivary parameters.
