Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of syrup medication for asthmatic children on the salivary invertase activity and caries eaperience. 26 ashmatic children for the study group and 30 healthy children for the control group were selected, respectively. Caries experience was examined and salivary reductase activity was tested. The parents of asthmatic children were asked to fill in the questionaire about syrup intake period and home dental behavior, and the parents of healthy children were asked to fill in the same questionaire without syrup intake period. The results were as follows:
1. The ds index of asthmatic children was higher than that of healthy children(P < 0.05).
2. There was significant difference in dt index between the intake period of `shorter than 10 months´and `longer than 20 months´. The ds, dft and dfs indices had a tendency to increase as the intake period increased.
3. The salivary reductase activity had a tendency to increase as the intake period of syrup increased.
