| Summary: | Introduction: Saliva is considered an important marker that can determine a person's oral health
condition; it has multiple functions; one of these is to act as an antimicrobial agent against the
pathophysiology of infectious processes such as caries and gingival disease, where
microorganisms are one of the most important etiological factors; It is composed of
Immunoglobulin A (IgA), which constitutes approximately 15% of serum immunoglobulina and
predominates in its secretory form (IgA) in saliva. Objective: the aim to determine the
relationships between salivary immunoglobulin A concentrations and dental caries in children
from 6 to 14 years of age from the Ana Elisa Cuenca Lara educational institution in the
municipality of Yaguará. Materials and Methods: The methodology includes an in-depth,
descriptive observational cross-sectional study, from a non-invasive saliva collection using a
radial immunodiffusion technique to a sample of 30 children, the results will be processed using
descriptive statistics using stata 14 software. Results: The characteristics of the study population
show that 81% of children were in an ICDAS range of 1 to 6 with caries, of which 16% have
ICDAS type 6, which causes damage to the cavity with extensions of the more than 50% of the
dental surface; 17% of this population brushes before each meal, which corresponds to poor
hygiene and hygiene practices of the oral system |
