Oxidative-reductive Processes and the Degree of Inflammation in Saliva With Conventional Brackets and Clear Aligners
Sponsor: University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli
Summary
The purpose of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the differences in oxidative-reductive processes and the degree of inflammation in saliva during treatment with conventional brackets and clear aligners. The evaluation will be performed by determining the salivary values of Total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS) and 8-hidroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8OHdG).
