The role of salivary peptides in dental caries

Dental caries is a complex disease, characterized by demineralization of tooth structure. With a protective role, several salivary phosphopeptides appear to be involved in remineralization processes, delaying the loss of tooth structure.

Saliva samples were obtained from two groups, a caries-free and a caries-suscept...
