Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It may be anticipated that Children with a lower 2D:4D digit ratio may exhibit reduced unstimulated salivary flow rate which may be associated with higher DMFT scores, indicating increased dental caries experience. A negative correlation may be observed between 2D:4D digit ratio and dental caries, suggesting that children with lower digit ratios could have a higher susceptibility to caries.Timepoint: After Intervention | — |
