Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of saliva in caries active and caries free children from a tribal school of wardha district. Materials and method: A total of 40 children aged between 5-14 years were selected by using simple random sampling. They were divided into two groups; Group I and Group II, comprising of age groups 5 to 9 years and 10 to 14 years, respectively. Both the groups were then sub-divided into caries-active and caries-free groups, with 10 children in each group. 2ml of unstimulated saliva was collected and was stored in glass vials at -20 degree celcius. Estimation of total antioxidant capacity of saliva of each sample was done by Phosphomolybdenum method. Results: On comparison of TAC between the age group of 5-9 years, TAC in caries active children was 19.83 mcg/ml which was significantly higher than TAC obtained for caries free children which was 9.10 mcg/ml. Similar results were found on comparison of TAC between both the groups between the age group of 10-14 years i.e. TAC was significantly higher in caries active children which was 31.82 mcg/ml than caries free children which was 15.33 mcg/ml. On comparison of TAC between both the age groups, TAC was found to be significantly higher between the age group of 10-14 years which was 23.68 mcg/ml than between the age group of 5-9 years which was 14.46 mcg/ml. Conclusion: Total antioxidant capacity of saliva was found to be more in caries active tribal children between the age group of 5-9 years and 10-14 years than caries free children. It was also reported that TAC was more in tribal children between the age group of 10-14 years than 5-9 year old tribal children.
