This study was designed to compare inorganic salivary calcium, phosphate, flow rate and pH of un-stimulated saliva oral hygiene healthy subjects, patients with periodontitis dental caries correlate calcium level the number intact teeth.The present consisted 90 aged between 18 55 years were divided into three groups, periodontitis, controls. Oral index-simplified, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment teeth present, active carious lesions recorded. Salivary recorded subjected biochemical investigation. Estimation phosphate performed by colorimetric method.Results showed statistically significant increase in levels, poor status, when compared group controls.Individuals who have increased pH, maintain could be at a higher risk for developing may less more teeth.
