01
Overview
Salivary glycoprotein adsorption on the tooth surface refers to the process by which specific glycoproteins from saliva bind to the enamel, forming a thin, protein-rich film known as the acquired enamel pellicle (AEP). This pellicle is primarily composed of salivary proteins and glycoproteins that adsorb rapidly onto hydroxyapatite, the mineral component of tooth enamel. The process is fundamental for oral health, influencing both protective mechanisms and microbial colonization. The main salivary glycoproteins involved in adsorption include Proline-rich proteins (PRPs), Statherin, Mucins (MG1 and MG2), Amylase and Agglutinin.
