THE STUDY OF BIOCHEMICAL INDIXES OF ORAL FLUID IN ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT by Yu.V. Filimonov, V.M. Istoshyn, A.V. Pachevska, N.V. Drachuk, O.P. Dudik, V.Yu. Filimonov

“…The evaluation of alkaline phosphatase activity in mixed unstimulated saliva using non-removable orthodontic equipment showed that the level of alkaline phosphatase after 3 months of treatment was 3% lower compared to the beginning of treatment, and after 6 months of observation activity of the investigated enzyme was less than the initial by 10%. Treatment of dental anomalies with removable equipment inhibited the enzyme activity: after 3 months of treatment, the activity of alkaline phosphatase was less than 7% compared to the beginning of the study, and after 6 months of observation activity of the investigated enzyme differed from the initial by 20%. …”
