Abstract
The decrease of salivary flow in obese person is related to the abnormal condition of their adipose tissue. Individuals with low salivary flow rates may experience oral health problems such as dental caries. The objective of this study was to compare the salivary flow rate and the DMF-T index in obese and normal-weight individuals. This study is a comparative analytic study with a case-control design. Sixty participants were taken using the quota sampling method. Research data were analyzed using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney statistical tests. The average salivary flow rate in obese individuals was 0.20 ml/min while in normal-weight individuals it was 0.26 ml/min. The DMF-T index in obese individuals was 7.23 while in normal-weight individuals it was 4.10. Statistical test results showed that there were significant differences in salivary flow rate and DMF-T index between obese and normal-weight individuals with p-value <0.05. The decrease in salivary flow rate also can be related to periodontal disease. The Maintenance of a healthy periodontal condition should be considered in obese individuals.
