Association between dental caries experience and salivary profile among autoimmune thyroid disease subjects - a cross-sectional comparative study.

Indicating the efficacy of using Farsi’s criteria to assess oral dryness, a moderately significant negative association was discovered between “unstimulated salivary flow,” “stimulated salivary flow rate,” and “subjective oral dryness.” This indicates a connection between salivary flow and caries, and a marginally significant negative association was discovered between “unstimulated salivary flow,” “stimulated salivary flow rate,” and “dental caries.” Therefore, perceived dryness may be a sign of cavities development and salivary flow rate.
