Background: Acidic proline-rich proteins (APRPs) are manifested in human saliva in various phenotypes and represent its important component. The unique structure of their two isoforms. APRP-1/2 as well as their coupling to hydroxyapatite and formation of the acquired enamel pellicle are well known. Nevertheless, role of APRP-1/2 in adult patients with dental caries still remains unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze the levels of APRP-1/2 in saliva of adult patients with dental caries. Patients and Methods: The studies were conducted on 106 adult patients which were qualified to individual groups on grounds of dental examination and calculation of DMFT index. Group 1 (control) included 18 caries-free patients (DMFT=0). Group 2 included 20 persons (DMFT=2.3 ± 1.0) with very low intensity of caries. Group 3 included 20 patients (DMFT=6.2 ± 1.3) with low intensity o.. View More»
