Abstract

Objectives: Due to the emphasis on the protective and antimicrobial role of Nitric Oxide against gastrointestinal diseases, investigating its relationship with dental caries is a right topic. Therefore, this research has investigated the amount of saliva Nitric Oxide in different volumes of DMFT indicator in adults.

Material and methods: In this descriptive- analytical cross-sectional study, 80 participants (20-35 years old), without a history of systemic disease and drug use participated as research samples, (53.8% of the participants in the study were women). Participants were selected from patients who had visited dental Department. The participants were divided in four groups based on DMFT (DMFT=0, 1≤DMFT≤3, 3

Results: A significant relationship between DMFT and age was identified. At different levels of DMFT, significant relationship between DMFT and sex was not found. In different groups of DMFT, no significant relationship between Nitric Oxide and DMFT exist.

Conclusion: The level of Nitric Oxide saliva was not affected by the amount of DMFT.

在选定的伊朗人群中，不同DMFT评分的成年人唾液一氧化氮水平:一项横断面研究。

目的:由于一氧化氮对胃肠道疾病的保护和抗菌作用的重视，研究其与龋病的关系是一个正确的课题。因此，本研究考察了唾液中一氧化氮在不同体积DMFT指标下的含量。材料和方法:在本描述性分析横断面研究中，80名无全身性疾病和药物使用史的参与者(20-35岁)作为研究样本(53.8%的参与者为女性)。参与者选自曾到牙科就诊的病人。根据DMFT分为4组(DMFT= 0,1≤DMFT≤3,3)。结果:DMFT与年龄有显著相关。在不同DMFT水平下，DMFT与性别无显著关系。在不同DMFT组中，一氧化氮与DMFT的关系不显著。结论:唾液一氧化氮水平不受DMFT用量的影响。
