During
experimentation, total two saliva samples were gathered: one 1 hour prior to dental procedure, second one 1 hour later to
procedure. We have observed increased in cortisol, amylase and calcium levels after the procedure compared to normal. The
significant increase in these salivary components may be due to the oxidative stress induced by the Lidocain during the local
anaesthesia. These salivary biomarkers may be a valuable tool for evaluating oxidative stress and psychological stress while
performing the dental procedures.</Abstract><Email>anantavraman@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>5</volume><issue>6</issue><year>2015</year><keyword>Lidocain,Cortisol,Amylase,Calcium,Oxidative stress</keyword><AUTHORS>T.
