| Summary: | Calcium is one of the electrolyte component which determine in buffer
capacity of saliva. Its concentration in saliva as an important role in maintaining
the defense mechanism of enamel. The aim of this study was to investigate the
difference of calcium saliva level concentration between caries-free and caries
rampant children aged 4-5 years old.
Subjects were compared of 2 groups, namely 11 subjects caries-free and 9
caries rampant children were selected from members of PAUD Cempaka district
Sewon, Bantul with criteria have no systemic disease, caries rampant subjects at
least have four dentin caries of upper incisor. Saliva collected one hour after
brushing teeth in the morning when the teaching and learning activities in a way
spit 5 ml saliva spontaneously without stimulation. Calcium levels of saliva were
measured using atomic absorption spectrometry - flame instrument (AAS-Flame).
Data result of salivary calcium levels expressed in mmol / l and analyzed using
the Mann-Whitney test.
esult Analysis r showed calcium levels of saliva children with rampant
caries was lower than caries free children 1.39 ± 0.47 and 2.97 ± 1.56. Mann-
Whitney analysis results showed significant differences (p <0.05) between the
mean of calcium levels children with rampant caries and caries-free children.
Concluded that the level of salivary calcium of caries-free children was higher
than children with rampant caries children aged 4-5 years old. |
