Strep. salivarius
early colonizer (followed by S. mutans and S. sanguini)

colonize dental surface and gingiva

gram POSITIVE
bacteroides
colonize mouth around puberty w spirochetes

gram NEG
treponema denticola
levels of oral spiroschetes are elevated in patients w periodontal disease

Gram NEG
veillonella
anaerobic cocci
thrives in acidic caries.... slows the development of caries as it converts acidic products of other species to less acidic products

Gram NEG
porphyromonas gingivalis
oral anaerobe
chronic adult periodontitis

Gram NEG
aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
oral pathogen w virulence factors

associated w localized aggressive periodontitis in young adolescents
can cause bone loss
Lactobacillus
dental caries

found in gut bacteria..usually symbiotic w humans
GRAM POSTIVE
Coxsackie
a hand, foot and mouth disease

symp: blisters on hand, foot, and mouth
ssRNA

complication: meningo-encephalitis

no cure/ treat/ prevention

age 0- 2
HSV 1
linear DNA encased in a protein capsid

hereptic gingivostomatitis

symp: blisters/ ulcers bilaterally in the oral mucosa

complication: encephalitis

treat: no vaccine, drug: acyclovir
Varicella Zoster
DNA

cause : chicken pox

symp: liquid-filled blisters all over body

complication: encephalitis and recurrent zoster

vaccine is avilable, drug: acyclovir
Parovirus
small ssDNA

cause: Erythema infectiosum

symptoms: slapped cheek syndrome

In pregnant women, infection in the first trimester has been linked to hydrops fetalis, causing spontaneous miscarriage.

no prevention/treat
Epstein-Barr
dsDNA

Herpes virus 4 - one of most common viruses in humans "hairy tongue"

infects epithelial cells w a cytolytic infection and B lymphocytes w a latent infection

causes infectious mononucleosis ( glandular fever)
mucins
secreted by submandibular/sublingual glands & minor glands

MG1 & MG2

glycoproteins - protein core w many oligosaccharide side chains attached to O-glycosidic bond
more than 40% carbohydrates
hydrophilic, resists dehydration
high elasticity and adhesiveness (promote elasticity and viscosity)

lubricate soft and hard oral tissue
part of the Acquired Enamel Pellicle
eliminates bacteria by aggregating (swallow)
amylases
need ca to start its activity ( calcium metalloenzyme)
digest activty (hydrolyzes alpha (1-4) bonds of starches
maltose is major end-product (20% is glucose)

parotid gland - 50% of protein in parotid saliva (during chewing, digests food)

part of Acquired Enamel pellicle

- in sol'n promote bacteria aggregation (GOOD)
- absorbed in enamel, promote bacterial aggregation and digestion of starch (BAD - provides food for bacteria in biofilm)
Lingual Lipase
secreted by major salivary glands

involved in 1st fat digestion - hydrolyzes medium - long chain triglycerides

highly unsoluble and enters fat globules

imp in newborn milk fat digestion
statherins
present in parotid and submandibular

v.small protein , many functions

has PHOSPHOserines at positions 2 & 3 (N-terminal) - biological function at end
supersaturation of CaPo4 maintains enamel integrity - statherins prevent precipitation/crystallization of supersaturated CaPo4 in ductal salvia
-lubricant
acquired Enamel Pellicle formation
proline-rich proteins (PRPs)
40% is proline
inhibits CaPo4 crystal growth
Acquired Enamel Pellicle precursor protein
acidic, basic, & glycosylated
Acidic PRPs
parotid & submandibular

2 PHOSPHOserines at position 8 & 22 ( in N-terminal) - biological function
no carbohydrate
6 major proteins - diff at position 4

after N-terminal binds to enamel/HA absorption, bacterial binding in rest of protein - BAD!

precursor of Acquired enamel pellicle formation
modulate organization of bacterial colonization/ oral biofilm
inhibit crystal growth ( secondary precipitation)
effect decay and remineralization
Basic PRPs
- secreted by all major glands
function unknown
Acquired Enamel Pellicle - enamel homeostasis
Basic PRPs glycoprotein
secreted by all major glands

lubrication
bacterial interaction - promote swallowing of bacteria
lysozyme
in many organs and body fluids ( ie saliva)

secreted by parotid and submandibular

aka muramidase

hydrolyze beta(1-4) bond in peptidogylcan layer of bacteria
muramidase
aka lysozyme
in many organs and body fluids ( ie saliva)

secreted by parotid and submandibular

aka muramidase

hydrolyze beta(1-4) bond in peptidogylcan layer of bacteria
histatins
secreted by major and minor

-histidine rich
antifungal & bacterial

potent antifungal - KILL Candida albicans (histatin 5),
inhibit Canadida albican growth (histatin 3 - biological function in "middle")
- ONLY IN SALIVA

inhibit demineralization (Histatin 1: phosphorlyated at position 2 (N-terminal) binds enamel and prevents tooth decay & ppt)
3 major: 1, 3, 5
cystatins
secreted from submandibular and sublingual

inhibit cysteine-proteases
in many body fluids
protective against bacteria proteases
part of Acquired Enamel pellicle
inhibits crystal growth
Lactoferrin
binds IRON

salivary glands and gingival crevicular fluid
inhibits growth of micros by depriving of iron
Salivary peroxidase
sailoperoxidase - from major glands
myeloperoxidase - from leukocytes entering via gingival crevice

1. kill bacteria
2. protect host cells from h202 toxicity
Salivary Immunoglobulins
IgA

IgG
IgM

from salivary glands and gingival crevicular fluid

acquired enamel pellicle
bacteria aggregation & swallowing
Uplink device
sponge on top of tube, sponge expands when full of saliva

get out of sponge by pressing against cylinder tube

- not good for detecting small MW proteins (like statherin) spit in tube better
Sarstadt - Salivette
