Sažetak
The effects of plaque, some microelements (copper, iron, lead, fluor and strontium) and IgA on the incidence of dental caries in three regions of Serbia have been investigated. The microelement content of drinking water and of hard dental tissues has been determined by the method of atomic absorption, and salivary IgA by the method of radial immunodiffusion. It has been established that the microelement concentration in the teeth depended on their concentrations in water. In the region with the highest caries index the highest copper concentration was found. The strontium concentration in dental tissues was directly proportionale to its concentration in drinking water. Lower incidence of dental caries was found with higher concentrations of fluor and strontium in drinking ater and dental tissues. The differences in IgA concentrations were not found to pairalel the differences in the prevalence of caries to any significant extent.
