Abstract:
Dental caries is a prevalent disease with a significant impact on children. Saliva, containing various organic and inorganic substances, may serve as a biomarker for identifying dental caries. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the correlation between salivary ferriti levels and ECC-III in 60 children aged 4-5 years, divided into a caries-free control group and an ECC-III group (≥5 decayed, absent, or filled teeth). Salivary ferritin levels were measured using a diagnostic kit, and statistical analysis showed significantly higher levels in the ECC-III group compared to controls (p < 0.0001). Thus, we show salivary ferritin may serve as a simple, non-invasive biomarker for assessing severity and predicting progression of ECC.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
