The interleukin-6 (IL-6) has several roles in the body's response to inflammation and tissue damage. TNF-α is a pleiotropic cytokine that acts as a pro-inflammatory cytokine. Aim of Study: The purpose of this research was to assess the salivary concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6 in children with dental caries and study the correlation between cytokines and DMFs index. Materials and Methods: Eighty children aged four and five took part in the study. Forty children with ECC served as the research group, whereas 40 caries-free children of the same age and gender served as the control group. Clinical parameters were assessed after an oral examination and measurement. All participants had saliva samples obtained. IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations in saliva were estimated using an ELISA test. Results: The current study found a significant elevation (P<0.05) in mean levels of TNF-α and IL-6 among children with ECC in comparison to caries free children. Moreover, there is significant positive correlation between IL-6 and TNF-α levels in caries children. Conclusion: Based on these results, it seems likely that elevated levels of TNF-α and IL-6 are involved in ECC.","PeriodicalId":473917,"journal":{"name":"South Asian research journal of oral and dental sciences","volume":"47 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140431245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
