Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate whether nickel hypersensitivity following stainless steel crown treatment in children aged 3-9 leads to an increase in IL-2, IL-5, and IL-17 levels by analyzing saliva samples. By doing so, the study seeks to prevent potential hypersensitivity reactions after stainless steel crown treatment. The main question it aims to answer is: Which interleukin level increases in the controls 1 week after stainless steel crowns are applied? Researchers will investigate whether there is a significant increase in interleukin levels in children's saliva before and after the procedure. Participants will: They will provide saliva samples before stainless steel crowns are applied They will visit the clinic after 1 week for check-ups and tests.

Detailed description

Expression levels of IL-2, IL-5 and IL-17 in the saliva of individuals aged 3-9 years who underwent stainless steel crown will be recorded before and after the procedure. Before the saliva sample collection procedure, the patient will be asked to rinse their mouth with sterile water and then spit into sterile plastic cups. After collecting approximately 5 ml of saliva, the saliva will be transferred to appropriate eppendorfs and stored at -40 degrees Celsius. For the second post-procedure, the same algorithms will be applied for saliva collection seven days after the crown procedure. Also ph value and ion levels of saliva will be measured.
