in iran, common bunt of wheat is one of the most important diseases of wheat and using resistant varieties is the best strategy against it. in order to find resistance sources against the disease for effective breeding programs, determining races of the pathogen is critical. in this study, spikes infected with common bunt of wheat were collected from different farms of khuzestan province in 200...

Background and objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the physicochemical properties of saliva such as flow rate, pH, buffering capacity, calcium level, total protein and total antioxidant levels in caries free and caries active children. Materials and methods: The present study included one hundred and twenty healthy children who were divided into two gr...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify the most caries-susceptible site of pits and fissures on first permanent molars by quantitative evaluation of the mineralization in both caries-active and caries-free children, and to provide helpful information for cost-effective, targeted prevention. METHODS Eighty-four caries-free and 85 caries-active children were selected from 800 6- to 7...

High weight and obesity represent risk factors for numerous diseases. Correlations between body mass index (BMI) and carious lesions have also been described. In the present study, a possible association between caries prevalence and high weight ranges were examined in 2071 primary school pupils (51.8 % girls, 48.2 % boys), aged 6 to 10 years. A dental examination including the assessment of ca...

BACKGROUND Asthma has been associated with a great number of negative health outcomes. This study was undertaken to detect the association between asthma and dental caries in the primary dentition. METHODS Data were obtained from a cohort of 1160 Mexican children aged 4-5 years. We used the questionnaire of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies Diseases in Childhood. Asthma was clas...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Imbalance between oxidative stress and saliva antioxidants plays a major role in initiation and spread of dental caries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of saliva in dental caries. METHODS In this case-control study which employed high school students (14-18 years), the un-stimulated saliva samples of 60 students without dental...

Background: Basic Health Research (RISKESDAS) 2018 shows West Java province has the highest dental caries problem (45.66%) even higher than national average (45.3%). The increase in percentage of people who have problems with community caused by bad habits consuming instant food and energy drinks that can trigger acidic conditions mouth. Objective: To determine relationship between frequency co...

Streptococcus mutans is important in dental caries. Although the role of cytokines in the pathogenesis of dental caries is not clear, components of S. mutans were found to stimulate production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. We examined the associations of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), and IL-10 with dental caries. Unstimulated whole saliva and blood samples were obtain...

In order to evaluate the informal wheat seed contamination with seed-bornediseases, two most important provinces (East Azarbaijan and Khorasan Razavi) forwheat production were selected in cold region of Iran in 2008-2009 crop seasonsand ten different locations (city or village) were considered in each province andten informal seed farmers were selected randomly. A seed sample (1 kg) was takenfr...
