Brief Summary

This study aimed to investigate the dental caries experience, periodontal health and salivary properties of asthmatic and non-asthmatic children ⁄ adolescents.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Oral health status

  Caries experience of asthmatic and non-asthmatic children was recorded using the number of decayed, missing or filled teeth (dmft/DMFT) and decayed, missing or filled surface (dmfs/DMFS) indices. The gingival index (GI) was used to assess the gingival condition according to the criteria of Loe and Silness as follows: no gingival inflammation (\<0.1), mild inflammation (0.1-1.0), moderate inflammation (1.1-1.9), and severe inflammation in case of marked gingival redness and edema with spontaneous bleeding and ulceration (2.0-3.0) Plaque index(PI) was used to assess the amount of dental plaque.The measurement of the state of oral hygiene by Silness-Löe plaque index is based on recording both soft debris and mineralized deposits on the following teeth: A film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth.

  During examination 1 day

• salivary flow rate -Salivary characteristics

  Stimulated salivary samples were collected and assessed for salivary flow rate. Saliva check buffer kit was used for the measurements according to instructions described on the user guide.

  5 minutes after saliva collection

• salivary pH - Salivary characteristics

  Stimulated salivary samples were collected and assessed for salivary pH GC saliva check buffer kit was used for the measurements according to instructions described on the user guide.

  5 minutes after saliva collection

• buffering capacity - Salivary characteristics

  Stimulated salivary samples were collected and assessed for buffering capacity. GC saliva check buffer kit was used for the measurements according to instructions described on the user guide.

  5 minutes after saliva collection

Study Arms (2)

Asthmatic children

Asthmatic children were clinically examined to assess their dental caries experience and periodontal health condition. Stimulated salivary samples were collected and assessed for salivary flow rate, salivary pH and buffering capacity.

Other: Diagnosis of caries experience and periodontal health

Non-asthmatic children

Non-asthmatic children were clinically examined to assess their dental caries experience and periodontal health condition. Stimulated salivary samples were collected and assessed for salivary flow rate, salivary pH and buffering capacity.

Other: Diagnosis of caries experience and periodontal health

Interventions
