The dental caries affect the salivary proteome. Consequently saliva appears to be a potential source of biomarkers for dental caries. After the analysis of several studies, there are various proteins candidate for a biomarker role of dental caries, namely, sIgA, mucins 1 and 2, cystatin S, statherins, defensins, CD14 and glucosyltransferase B. The caries susceptibility is measured by the DMFT index, which gives information about the individual caries...
