Abstract

In recent years, the analyses in the saliva have gained importance because of the easy availability using noninvasive methods. Besides many other functions, due to its antioxidant content saliva protects oral mucosa against oxidative damage. Various diseases have been shown to be related with the impaired oxidant-antioxidant status in saliva. Selenium is a trace element involved in the structure of antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and thioredoxin reductase, and may contribute to the antioxidant activity of the organism. On the other hand, contradictory results were reported on the effect of selenium on dental caries. In this review, the studies evaluating the effects of selenium on oral health and the importance of salivary selenium have been reviewed.

Abstract

Son yıllarda invaziv olmayan yöntemler gerektirip daha kolay elde edilebilir olmasından dolayı tükürükte yapılan analizlerin sayısı artmıştır. Birçok önemli fonksiyonunun yanı sıra tükürük antioksidan içeriğine bağlı olarak oral mukozayı oksidatif hasara karşı korur. Çeşitli hastalıkların tükürüğün oksidan-antioksidan dengesinin bozulması ile ilişkili olduğu gösterilmiştir. Selenyum antioksidan olarak görev yapan glutatyon peroksidaz ve tiyoredoksin redüktaz enzimlerinin yapısında olup organizmadaki antioksidan aktiviteye katkıda bulunur. Ancak selenyumun diş çürüğü oluşumu üzerine etkileri ile ilgili olarak yapılmış çalışmaların sonuçları çelişkilidir. Bu derlemede tükürük selenyumunun önemi ve ağız sağlığı üzerine etkileri literatür ışığında ele alınmıştır.
