Change of mixed saliva antioxidant system of children at the stages of orthodontic treatment using the base materials
Abstract
By means of clinical and laboratory methods, the immunological status of unstimulated oral fluid was investigated in children aged 4,5 to 8 after the application of removable orthodontic appliances according to the indices of immunoglobulins (sIgA, IgA, IgG), lactoferrin, lysozyme activity, bactericidal effect of mixed saliva; also the balance coefficient of local immunity factors is calculated. A significant reduction of the protective properties of mixed saliva at a steady stress of the immune system is revealed; the immunostimulating and immune corrective therapy is recommended for normalization of humoral immunity factors during the apparatus treatment with the use of different groups of base materials.
