Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the enzymatic activity of mixed saliva in orthodontic patients before, during and after treatment. The determination of α-amylase in the mixed saliva of 120 patients was performed - only 360 studies. Statistical development was performed by SPSS19 program. The α-amylase activity study showed a 2–2.5-fold increase in its activity during treatment in all study groups (р <0.005, t≥2). The increase in activity may depend on the reflex stimulation of the salivary glands, as the activity is influenced by factors such as the nature of the food, cleaning of the teeth, and so on. After the removal of modern orthodontic appliances, the activity of α-amylase decreased, reaching the initial values that we had received before starting the treatment.
