REDUCTASE ACTIVITY OF HUMAN WHOLE SALIVA AS RELATED TO DENTAL CARIES EXPERIENCE,

Abstract

Whole saliva reductase determinations were carried out on 402 systemically healthy young adult males. A commercially available kit was employed in these measurements. Results were tested in relation to the decayed, missing and filled surfaces (DMFS) scores and the number of carious surfaces present. There was a trend of higher reductase activity for persons with higher DMFS scores and more carious surfaces, but statistical analyses established that the test was not of diagnostic value for the individual subjects.
