Abstract EN
Aims : to determine the salivary calcium during lactation in females and compare with non–lactating females.
The saliva nowadays is considered as good source or media for estimation of several ions such as calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc and even abused drug.
Materials and Methods : The unstipulated saliva was collected from sixty females, thirty lactating and the other thirty were non-lactating.
Results: Salivary calcium ion concentration in non–lactating females was 5.021 + 0.1 compared to 2.46 + 0.21 in lactating mothers that reflect a significant decline in calcium concentration (p < 0.001).
Conclusion : this decline in calcium concentration reflected the importance of external calcium supplement during lactation.
