Abstract

IgG, IgA, IgM and lysozyme levels were determined in whole unstimulated saliva from ten children aged seven-nine years. IgA levels were significantly higher (p less than 0.05) in caries-susceptible subjects when compared with the caries-free ones. High levels of IgG seemed to correlate with a high DMF score. No correlation was found between lysozyme levels and DMF score.
