Dental caries was recorded by lesion severitythrough the application of decayed missing filled surfaces (1). Stimulated salivary samples were collected and salivarysamples were chemically analyzed, for detection of insulin hormone.Results and conclusion: The mean value of salivary insulin hormone concentration was higher in the control group.Difference was statistically highly significant.
