Background: The tonsils are clumps of tissue on both sides of the back of the throat. Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils caused by a virus or bacteria. surgery to remove the infected tonsils was a common procedure. they're usually only recommended if tonsillitis is severe, occurs frequently and doesn't respond to other treatments. Obstructive tonsils became currently the most common indication for tonsillectomy in children. Tonsillectomy reduces total salivary immunoglobulin, but overall antimicrobial defense is unimpaired. This study was conducted to evaluate the oral hygiene and certain salivary immunoglobulin in a group of tonsillectomies children.
