Quantitative assessment of IgA levels in the unstimulated whole saliva of caries-free and caries-active children
Saliva is commonly referred to as the blood stream of the oral cavity. It has many functions, one of the major functions being protection of teeth against dental caries. There are many components in saliva, each one having a specific role in the prevention of dental caries. The composition of saliva...
