Estimation of Salivary Nitric Oxide Levels Following Composite Restorations in Primary Molars: An In Vivo Study

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Aims and background: Salivary nitric oxide (NO) has been identified as a promising biomarker for oral inflammation in the pediatric population. However, the effect of different dental materials on NO levels has not been thoroughly investigated. Therefore, our study aims to explore the changes in salivary NO levels following the placement of composite restorations. Materials and methods: test. Results: = 0.0001). Conclusion: Composite restorations in primary molars lead to a significant increase in salivary NO levels. Clinical significance: Residual monomers can increase the levels of salivary NO, which acts as an antioxidant in the oral cavity. How to cite this article: Study.
