RT - Journal Article T1 - EVALUATING THE EFFECT OF PREGNANCY ON STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS, PH AND BUFFERING CAPACITY OF SALIVA JF - URMIAMJ YR - 2015 JO - URMIAMJ VO - 26 IS - 6 UR - http://umj.umsu.ac.ir/article-1-2980-en.html SP - 467 EP - 474 K1 - Pregnancy K1 - Saliva K1 - PH K1 - Buffering capacity K1 - Streptococcus mutans AB -       Background & Aims: Pregnancy duration is crucial regarding dental problems. So the aim of this study was to determine the association between pregnancy period and PH, S. Mutans, and buffering capacity of saliva.     Materials & Methods: This cross sectional study was done among 120 women who referred to the Gynecology hospital in Baku with an average of 24.1± 2.91 years. 30 non pregnant women were selected as controls and 90 pregnant women as the study group. S. Mutans culture test was accomplished in both groups. PH and buffering capacity of saliva was measured using a PH meter and titration method. Two groups were compared using statistical analysis of variance ANOVA.     Results: There was no significant difference in the mean age of study and control group (P LA eng UL http://umj.umsu.ac.ir/article-1-2980-en.html M3 ER -
