antioxidant/dental caries

The aim was to evaluate the angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory potential and the antioxidant capacity of pure synthesized peptides (GLTSK, LSGNK, GEGSGA, MPACGSS and MTEEY) originally identified in the non-digestible fraction (NDF) of common beans (P. vulgaris L.) that had previously

Oxidative stress has been recognized to play important roles in various diseases, including of the oral cavity. However, nutritional supplementation of antioxidants to ameliorate the consequences of oxidative stress is debatable. One caveat is that oxidative status is often measured under

Nitrite-induced transformation of 3-amino-4-monomethylamino-2',7'-difluorofluorecein (DAF-FM) to the triazol form (DAF-FMT) was studied using bacterial fraction of mixed whole saliva. The transformation at pH 7 was inhibited by SCN(-), suggesting that nitrosative stresses were small in the oral

Arachidonic acid was investigated for its vascular permeabilizing potential in the rat peritoneal cavity and for its mechanism of action. The antagonistic potential of antioxidants (vitamin E, vitamin C and troxerutin) was also evaluated. Vascular permeability was equated to the rate of

OBJECTIVE There is a need to determine whether total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) is an indicator of inflammatory response to the lesion or a marker of the disease. This study compared TAC levels in children with ECC before and after dental treatment and

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the antioxidant barrier in the saliva of children with caries, and its impact on the colonization of cariogenic bacteria. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of 81 children aged 1-5 years. Antioxidant levels and salivary bacterial

BACKGROUND. The available evidence implicating the involvement of oxidative stress in the caries process suggests that local antioxidant status may be of importance in determining the susceptibility to the caries process. AIM. The aim of this study was to estimate the total antioxidant capacity

Dental caries is an infectious and communicable disease and multiple factors influence the initiation and progression of the disease. Recently it has been claimed that oxidative stress may play an important role in the onset and the development of several inflammatory oral pathologies and dental

UNASSIGNED There has been variation reported in literature examining the relationship between dental caries and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of saliva in children. This study aimed to systematically review the literature and conduct a meta-analysis of the association between dental caries and

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate total antioxidant levels in caries-free and caries-active children. METHODS The present study included one hundred and twenty healthy children who were divided into two groups; Group I and Group II, comprising of age groups 7 to 10 years and 11 to

OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the total antioxidant capacity of saliva and the presence of dental caries in deciduous and permanent teeth, in a group of Saharan children. METHODS The dental examination was carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the

BACKGROUND Recent studies have implicated a direct relation between dental caries and salivary total antioxidant level (TAL), which can be suggested as an indicator (either harmful or protective) for susceptibility of individuals for dental caries. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the total antioxidant level

OBJECTIVE To study the correlation between the caries status and the salivary antioxidant levels among asthmatic children. METHODS One hundred children within the age group of 6 12 years were selected and equally subdivided into children having a history of asthma and their healthy

Dental caries is a major problem in preschool children. The contribution of saliva in providing defense during caries process is of primary importance. pH buffer capacity through bicarbonate, phosphate and protein buffer systems have universal acceptance as a caries defense mechanism. Antioxidant
