    Abstract

    To assess the nickel and chromium levels in the saliva undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Materials & methods: A total of 100 subjects were enrolled who were scheduled to undergo fixed orthodontic treatment. Two samples of stimulated saliva were collected from each orthodontic patient: before insertion of the fixed appliance (which served as a baseline level for salivary nickel and chromium content) and 10 days after insertion of the appliance. These samples were analyzed for nickel and chromium content using autoanalyzer and their values recorded in micro g/L. Results: A total of 100 subjects were enrolled. Amount of salivary nickel and chromium at the baseline was 5.8 and 3.1 respectively. There was slight increase in both the measurements after 10 days of orthodontic treatment and the levels of nickel were 6.9 and chromium were 4.1 micro gram/ L. Conclusion: The salivary nickel and chromium concentrations significantly increased after insertion of fixed orthodontic appliances as compared to baseline levels
