Abstract
"Dental Health Investigation: Correlating Salivary Calcium and Phosphate Levels with Dental Caries in Soft Drinks Factory Workers" examines the association between salivary calcium and phosphate levels and dental caries prevalence among soft drinks factory workers. This study investigates whether the nature of their work environment, characterized by frequent exposure to acidic beverages, impacts salivary mineral levels and contributes to increased dental caries risk. By analyzing salivary samples and conducting dental examinations, this research aims to elucidate potential correlations between salivary calcium and phosphate concentrations and dental caries occurrence, providing insights into preventive strategies for promoting oral health in this occupational group.
