About this trial

This study will be aimed to investigated the correlation between levels of salivary amino acids (glycine , proline , lysine , alanine ) in the saliva of healthy children with and without active carious lesions and to estimate the predictive capacity of caries susceptibility

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Children aged (8,9,10) years with different caries

Absence of signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease.

Disqualifiers

Children out the range of age

Children with any systemic discases.

Children with appliances in the mouth.

Children with appliances in the mouth.

Trial population

Children in both genders in 8-10 years old

Trial design

Design model

Case-control

Time perspective

Cross-sectional

Treatments tested in this trial

  • To compare the effect of salivary glycine , proline , lysine and alanine concentration between participants with high caries activity and participants with negative caries activity

    Diagnostic test

    The investigators will measure Salivary-free amino acids by using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography
