Beschreibungen/Notizen
About 8 ml of saliva were collected from each of 272 children, living in rural areas in North India, equally distributed into age groups 4–7 and 12–16 yr and stratified into low, moderate and high caries groups. The salivas were analysed for Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn by atomic absorption spectrophotometry and for F with a fluoride-sensitive electrode. The elements Cu and F had a consistent, inverse relationship with caries experience. The concentration of Zn, Fe and Mn in saliva did not have any consistent relationship with caries experience.
