Analysis of plaque microbiota and salivary proteins adhering to dental materials.

Journal of Oral Biosciences, 2020
OBJECTIVES Plaque causes oral diseases and aspiration-pneumonia in the elderly. It is not known whether pellicle-like attached salivary proteins and microbiota on dental materials are identical to those on teeth.

The effects of cigarette exposure on rat salivary proteins and salivary glands

Oral Diseases, 2009
Objective:  Passive smoking is the involuntary inhalation of cigarette smoke (CS) and has an adverse impact on oral health. We examined the effect of CS exposure on saliva and salivary glands (SGs).Methods:  Cigarette smoke‐exposed rats were intermittently housed in an animal chamber with whole‐body exposure to CS until killed.

Human salivary proteins and their peptidomimetics: Values of function, early diagnosis, and therapeutic potential in combating dental caries.

Archives of Oral Biology, 2019
Saliva contains a large number of proteins that play various crucial roles to maintain the oral health and tooth integrity. This oral fluid is proposed to be one of the most important host factors, serving as a special medium for monitoring aspects of ...

In vitro hydroxyapatite adsorbed salivary proteins

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2004
In spite of the present knowledge about saliva components and their respective functions, the mechanism(s) of pellicle and dental plaque formation have hitherto remained obscure. This has prompted recent efforts on in vitro studies using hydroxyapatite (HA) as an enamel model.

Salivary mental stress proteins

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2013
Of the major diagnostic specimen types, saliva is one of the most easily collected. Many studies have focused on the evaluation of salivary proteins secreted by healthy people and patients with various diseases during responses to acute mental stress.

The Interaction of Salivary Proteins with Tooth Surface

Journal of Dental Research, 1969
Studies of the adsorption of human salivary proteins, in general, and the enzymes amylase, lysozyme, and neuraminidase, in particular, reveal that these proteins differ in their affinities for the surface of enamel. The enzymes studied retained their enzyme activity in the adsorbed state. Only amylase was desorbed by water; lysozyme was desorbed by its

Salivary proline-rich proteins

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 1982
Proline-rich proteins are major components of parotid and submandibular saliva in humans as well as other animals. They can be divided into acidic, basic and glycosylated proteins. The primary structure of the acidic proline-rich proteins is unique and shows that the proteins do not belong to any known family of proteins.

Interaction of Copper and Human Salivary Proteins

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2009
Interaction of taste molecules with saliva is the first step in the flavor perception process. Saliva is assumed to influence copper-induced sensation by controlling the copper solubility or causing astringency via binding of proteins with copper. This study was performed to identify the nature of copper-protein interactions in relation to the sensory ...

Regulation of Parotid Salivary Proteins by Glucocorticoids

Journal of Dental Research, 1987
Previous studies have indicated that adrenal-intact rats treated for one week with pharmacological doses of the synthetic glucocorticoid, dexamethasone, show a significant reduction in the proportion of proline-rich proteins and an increase in the proportion of amylase in rat parotid saliva (Johnson et al., 1987).
