Saliva is a fluid that rinses hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity and it is an important local factor in the oral defense. Saliva is a unique liquid and because of its simple collection rather than blood, is considered as a diagnostic tool for the past 10 years. Since pregnancy is associated with changes in metabolites during this period, decay can be the result of changes in salivary composition and environmental changes. Today the integration of medical and dental science to better health is considered. The aim of this study was to compare the rate of flow rate, pH, and total protein, the concentration of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine, glucose and saliva in pregnant and non-pregnant women in Maternity Women Specialized Hospital of the city of Hamadan. This study in 2010 was performed on the 100 women in the age range of 18-36 years. Case group, was included 50 pregnant women and control group was consisted 50 non-pregnant women. Salivary Calcium concentration was measured by the pars Azmun company's kits by the cresolphthalein complexion photometric method. The amount of salivary chlorine by spectrophotometry was investigated. Total protein was determined by modi-Bruet method. UV Pars Azmun test kits in photometric method performed a measure of the phosphate amount. Xylidyblue method was used to determine the amount of magnesium. Graduated container was used to checking the amount of flow rate. PH meters were used In order to measure the pH of saliva. After entering data onto SPSS version 16, data was analyzed by t-test and chi-square test. Component of saliva such as total protein, Ca, P, Cl and glucose concentration of saliva isn’t changing significantly in pregnant women before and after pregnancy, but flow rate amount increase in pregnancy period compare to before that.
