... and offer valuable information to develop caries prediction models. However, the search for a universal caries biomarker has proven elusive due to the multifactorial nature of this oral disease. We have therefore performed a systematic effort to identify caries-associated metabolites and proteins in saliva...

... understood. The present study assessed the association between perceived stress, cortisol levels (in hair and saliva), and overall caries experience of adolescents and young adults aged 15–25 years. Methods: Hair and saliva samples were obtained from 93 participants free of periodontal disease. Cortisol...

...Mouri R.J. Faruque; Kawtar Taidouch; Floris J. Bikker; Antoon J.M. Ligtenberg Introduction: In this study, the relationship between the spinnbarkeit, i.e., the stretchability of saliva, and dental caries was investigated. Methods: Dentistry students were divided into a group with more than 2...

..., lactoferrin, immunoglobulins (Igs), proline-rich proteins (PRPs), and mucins [Kivelä et al., 1999; Van Nieuw Amerongen et al., 2004; Tao et al., 2005]. Mucins are the most frequently occurring glycoproteins of unstimulated saliva containing around 20–30% of whole salivary proteins. Two classes of mucins exist...

... individually treated (200 μL; 2 min; 37°C), then incubated in human saliva (200 μL; 1 h, at 37°C) for acquired pellicle formation. Afterward, the specimens were submitted to an erosive challenge (1% citric acid [CR], pH 3.6, 10 mL, 2 min, 25 °C). This sequence was conducted 5 times. Percentage of surface...

...; Marília Afonso Rabelo Buzalaf Objective: Saliva is the most important biological factor to protect against erosive tooth wear (ETW). Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients have an increased risk of ETW due to the frequent presence of intrinsic acids in the oral cavity. Remarkably, not all GERD...

... and Methods: A 24-h AEP was formed on natural enamel specimens ( n = 40) from pooled whole mouth human saliva. Samples were randomly allocated to citric (0.3%, pH 3.2) or hydrochloric (HCl) acid (0.01 M, pH 2.38) exposure for 30 or 300 s. The total protein concentration (TPC), and phosphorous and calcium...

.... Unstimulated whole-saliva samples and blood samples were obtained. Sialochemical analysis was carried out by spectrophotometric assay. Data were analyzed with the Student t test using STATA 11. Salivary and serum TAC levels in the case and control groups did not show any significant differences. Mean salivary...
