Abstract : BACKGROUND: The saliva plays important roles in the maintenance of the oral health because it can prevent bacterial invasion, growth and metabolism through different mechanisms . Also, it can modulate the bacterial adhesion to teeth and attenuate the deleterious effects of the production of metabolites by oral microbiota due to its organic and inorganic components, contributing for oral health maintenance . The aim of this research is to evaluate the salivary pH,buffering capacity and flow rate levels of saliva in caries free people and in people with dental caries among different age groups . MATERIALS AND METHODS: The saliva samples of 120 children were collected with the aid of micropipette with disposable tips and plastic cylinders for 5 minutes. Salivary flow was determined by dividing the volume collected by the time of aspiration. All saliva produced was stored into a sterile plastic cylinder .The measurement of pH was performed with the aid of a digital pH meter and buffering capacity of saliva was measured. RESULT: There was a significant decrease in the mean salivary flow rate, salivary pH and salivary buffer capacity in people with dental caries compared to caries free people among different age groups, The calculated p value is statistically significant (p value - <0.05) in case of salivary pH and buffering capacity , whereas it is not significant in case of salivary flow rate ( p value - >0.04). CONCLUSION: The physicochemical properties of saliva, such as salivary flow rate, pH, buffering capacity and viscosity, has a relation with caries activity in people and act as markers of caries activity. Keywords: Buffering capacity,saliva,pH,flow rate,samples.
