Two groups of 30 folks each were formed. Group A comprised vaccinated kids, whereas Group B comprised unvaccinated kids. Following a thorough history taking of each kid (together with their parents), an intraoral assessment was conducted to look for any indications of caries or mucosal dryness. A quantitative analysis of salivary secretion ensued.
