- W2767992854 abstract "Early childhood caries (ECC) is a term used to describe dental caries in children aged 6 years or younger. Oral streptococci, such as Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sorbrinus, are considered to be the main etiological agents of tooth decay in children. Other bacteria, such as Prevotella spp. and Lactobacillus spp., and fungus, that is, Candida albicans, are related to the development and progression of ECC. Biomolecules in saliva, mainly proteins, affect the survival of oral microorganisms by multiple innate defensive mechanisms, thus modulating the oral microflora. Therefore, the protein composition of saliva can be a sensitive indicator for dental health. Resistance or susceptibility to caries may be significantly correlated with alterations in salivary protein components. Some oral microorganisms and saliva proteins may serve as useful biomarkers in predicting the risk and prognosis of caries. Current research has generated abundant information that contributes to a better understanding of the roles of microorganisms and salivary proteins in ECC occurrence and prevention. This review summarizes the microorganisms that cause caries and tooth-protective salivary proteins with their potential as functional biomarkers for ECC risk assessment. The identification of biomarkers for children at high risk of ECC is not only critical for early diagnosis but also important for preventing and treating the disease. Tests for proteins in saliva that control cavity-causing microbes could help predict a young child’s risk of dental caries. In a review article, Jing Zou and colleagues from Sichuan University in Chengdu, China, outline the roles of oral microorganisms and salivary proteins in the development and prevention of tooth decay in preschool-aged children. Streptococcus bacteria are the main cause of caries in young children, although other bacteria and fungi also contribute. Various proteins and other biomolecules found in saliva affect the survival of these microbes. The authors suggest that the concentrations of these proteins could serve as early indicators of tooth decay risk. However, studies have not found a correlation between total salivary proteins and decay risk, suggesting that more work is needed to identify the best biomarker in saliva." @default.
