Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare the S ig A levels and dental caries in obese and non obese children. Materials and Methods: Eighty normal healthy children in the age group of eight to twelve were selected and divided into two groups, Obese(Group I, n=40) and Nonobese(Group II, n=40). Each group was further divided into two sub groups as carious (n=20), and non carious (n=20) based on deft/DMFT score. From all the children 2 ml of unstimulated saliva collected and S IgA levels were estimated by using ELISA method. Results: The difference between S Ig A levels and dental caries in obese and non obese was not statistically significant where as intragroup(carious and non carious) S IgA levels were significantly higher in carious free sub group than carious sub group in both groups. Conclusion: Higher levels of S ig A in caries-free mouth can be attributed for protection against dental caries. From the present study,it was concluded that obesity has no effect on S ig A levels.
