Estimation of Copper Levels in Saliva and Its Relation to Dental Caries and Hemoglobin Levels.

Context: A very small quantity of trace elements will be present in saliva. Salivary composition influences caries inhibition and promotion based on the different organic, inorganic, and trace elements.

Aim And Objective: To evaluate the levels of copper in saliva in children with caries-active and caries-free group and to associate copper levels of saliva with hemoglobin (Hb) levels of blood.
