RESUMO

Several studies have been done about 19A against Streptococcus mutans but there are no conclusive evidences about the effective participation in caries control. There are also many studies about the immunity involved with infections caused by Candida species. The aim of this work was to cOITelate the presence of mutans streptococci and Candida with levels of 19A in saliva of individuals with diferent age and oral conditions. Three-hundred-twenty individuals were divided in 7, groups: 1- young adult with caries; II-caries free young adult ; III- children with caries; IV- caries free children ; V- adults with caries; VI- adults with candidosis and VII- children with active caries. AlI the individuaIs were examined for DMFT, oral hygiene index-simplified and salivary flow. Total counts of microrganisms, mutans streptococci and Candida counts were also done. The quantification of 19A levels against Streptococcus mutans and Candida was done through ELISA technique. There was no statistical cOITelation for the population between the levels of 19A against S. mutans and counts of these microrganisms in saliva. Statistical cOITelation for the population was observed between titres of antibodies against Candida and counts of yeasts in candidosis group (VI). No cOITelation was found for the other groups
