Correlation of salivary ph and tooth decay at the pediatric population

Abstract

Early from the affected tooth to the surrounding soft tissues, resulting in swelling and inflammation in highly childhood caries (ECC) is the most usual oral disease in children. It affects approximately half of children worldwide and incurs enormous societal ECC leads to sustained demineralization of enamel and dentin, and the infection can spread progressed cases. Food and drink play a critical role in the integrity of saliva samples. Salivary pH directly impact an individual’s dentition through chemical dissolution whether the demineralization is erosive or cariesbased. After eating or drinking, particulate matter may be left in the oral cavity having the potential to influence salivary pH levels or viscosity.
