Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the Total Antioxidant level in saliva of caries patients with and without smoking habit.

Methods: A total of 80 individuals were included in the study. Unstimulated saliva was colleced. Samples of smoking and non smoking caries patients showing only Streptococcus mutans growth were analysed for Total Antioxidant level and smokers and nonsmokeres without any caries were considered as control groups. Caries isolates were confirmed as Streptococcus mutans by grams staining and biochemical tests. Total Antioxidant level was determined by spectrophotometric method.

Result: Non smokers with caries showed significantly(P <0.0001) higher TAC level to Smokers with caries. Smokers without caries showed significantly (P=0.0005)lower level of antioxidants than nonsmokers without caries.

Conclusion: This invasive study shows that smoke adversely effects the Total Antioxidant Level in caries patients.

Keywords
