Abstract
In the oral environment, the acquired salivary pellicle (ASP) on the tooth surface comprises proteins, glycoproteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. The ASP can specifically and rapidly adsorb on the enamel surface to provide effective lubrication, protection, hydration, and remineralisation, as well as be recognised by various bacteria to form a microbial biofilm (plaque). The involved proteins, particularly various phosphoproteins such as statherins, histatins, and proline-rich proteins, are vital to their specific functions. This review first describes the relationship between the biological functions of these proteins and their structures. Subsequently, recent advances in functional biomedical materials derived from these proteins are reviewed in terms of dental/bone therapeutic materials, antibacterial materials, tissue engineering materials, and coatings for medical devices. Finally, perspectives and challenges regarding the rational design and biomedical applications of ASP-derived materials are discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to investigate if bovine milk or milk protein isolates, respectively, alter the ultrastructure of thein situ pellicle and might therefore have an influence on oral health. METHODS In situ pellicle samples were formed on bovine enamel slabs exposed in the oral cavity of three subjects for 6, 30, 60 or 120 min. After 3 min of pellicle formation, mouthrinses were performed for 3 min with (non-)homogenized UHT- or fresh milk (0.3% or 3.8% fat), 30% UHT-treated cream or different types of casein- or milk protein isolates containing preparations. The specimens were removed after the exposure times and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was performed. Native pellicle samples served as controls. RESULTS Topical ultrastructural pellicle modifications were detected after mouthrinses with all types of homogenized UHT- or fresh milk and after the application of a 3% native casein micelles containing experimental solution. Atypical globular protein structures, identified as casein micelles, were temporarily adsorbed onto the pellicle. They were closely associated with lipid droplets. Furthermore, the mouthrinses occasionally affected the morphology of salivary bacteria. However, no notable ultrastructural alterations remained after 120 min of pellicle formation. CONCLUSION For the first time, bovine milk- and micellar casein-induced pellicle modifications were revealed by TEM. The adsorption of micellar casein is possibly due to its molecular interactions. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Bovine milk or micellar caseins provide some potential for the development of preventive strategies against bacterial biofilm formation or erosive processes at the tooth surface.

Abstract
Casein and mucin have been shown to improve the erosion-protective properties of the pellicle when applied in combination. The aim of this in vitro study was to optimize the concentrations of these 2 proteins to achieve a maximum protective effect. For the 2 parts of this study, we prepared a total of 195 human enamel specimens and randomly assigned them to 13 groups, corresponding to 11 different casein-mucin concentration-combinations tested and 2 negative control groups (humid chamber). They underwent 5 cycles, consisting of pellicle formation from human whole saliva (2 h, 30°C), modification of the pellicle with casein and mucin in different concentrations (immersion in protein solutions for 2 h, 30°C), and erosion for 1 min in citric acid (0.65%, pH 3.5, 30°C). Surface microhardness (SMH), surface reflection intensity (SRI), and in the first part also calcium release were monitored during the cycling process, and analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis and post hoc Dunn’s tests. The results suggest that the best concentrations to achieve the highest erosion-protective effect are 3.0% casein and 0.81% mucin, which lead to a significant protection as measured by SMH as well as SRI compared to the unmodified pellicle. For the calcium release, no significant differences were found. This concentration combination corresponds to a general raise of the protein concentrations and a change in the molar ratio of the proteins as compared to earlier studies. Casein and mucin could now be incorporated at the determined concentration as natural ingredients in oral care products designed to protect against erosion.

Abstract
Implant integration is a complex process mediated by the interaction of the implant surface with the surrounding ions, proteins, bacteria, and tissue cells. Although most implants achieve long-term bone-tissue integration, preventing pervasive implant-centered infections demands further advances, particularly in surfaces design. In this work, we analyzed classical microrough implant surfaces (only acid etched, AE; sandblasted then acid etching, SB + AE) and a new calcium-ion-modified implant surface (AE + Ca) in terms of soft- and hard-tissue integration, bacterial adhesion, and biofilm formation. We cultured on the surfaces primary oral cells from gingiva and alveolar bone, and three representative bacterial strains of the oral cavity, emulating oral conditions of natural saliva and blood plasma. With respect to gingiva and bone cells and in the presence of platelets and plasma proteins, AE + Ca surfaces yielded in average 86% higher adhesion, 44% more proliferation, and triggered 246% more synthesis of extracellular matrix biomolecules than AE-unmodified controls. Concomitantly, AE + Ca surfaces regardless of conditioning with saliva and/or blood plasma showed significantly less bacterial adhesion (67% reduction in average) and biofilm formation (40% reduction in average) than unmodified surfaces. These results highlight the importance of a calcium-rich hydrated interface to favor mammalian cell functions over microbial colonization at implant surfaces. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Antiadherent and antibacterial effects of certain plant extracts have been proven to be beneficial in preventive dentistry. In the present in situ/in vitro crossover study, the impact of plant extracts rich in polyphenols on the erosion-protective properties of the in situ pellicle was evaluated. METHODS Individual splints were prepared for 12 subjects for intraoral exposure of bovine enamel specimens. Following formation of a 1-min pellicle, watery plant extracts (leaves of the wild form of Ribes nigrum, the wild form of Origanum as well as a combination of both) were administered for 10 min in situ. Alternatively, a mouth rinse with fluorides (Elmex Kariesschutz) was performed for 1 min. After further oral exposure for 19/28 min, respectively, slabs were removed and incubated with HCl in vitro over 120 s (pH 2, 2.3, 3). The resulting calcium and phosphate release was quantified photometrically. Slabs with and without a 30-min in situ pellicle served as controls. The modification of pellicle ultrastructure was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). RESULTS Plant extracts modulated the erosion-protective properties of the native in situ pellicle in all test groups in a pH-dependent manner. The combination of R. nigrum leaves and Origanum enhanced the protective properties of the pellicle at all pH values; the administration of this preparation was comparable, yet superior, to the effect of the fluoridated mouth rinse. TEM images indicated that rinsing with R. nigrum leaves/Origanum yielded a distinctly thicker and more electron-dense pellicle. CONCLUSION The combination of certain plant extracts offers a novel approach to the complementary prevention of dental erosion.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Alpha-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) is the most abundant enzyme in the saliva of man and of several vertebrates. In humans, salivary amylase is mainly formed in the parotid gland; its activity is of high inter-individual and intra-individual variability. The physiological functions of α-amylase have not yet been explored completely. It is well known that the enzyme cleaves the α-(1,4)-glycosidic bonds of polysaccharides. Furthermore it plays an important role in initial bioadhesion in man, facilitating carbohydrate metabolism and bacterial adherence at the tooth surface and therewith caries initiation. Nevertheless, it is still a matter of interest why humans have such high amounts of salivary amylase. OBJECTIVE The review presents an evolutionary approach by considering salivary amylase in the animal kingdom with special focus on mammalians divided into the three main nutritional types carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores; it was postulated that for most mammalian animals salivary α-amylase is essential. RESULTS The enzyme has been detected in saliva of some herbivores and many omnivorous animals, but not in pure carnivores. Focusing on ruminants, negligible levels or an absence of α-amylase was determined. Presence and activity probably differ depending on the species-specific diet. Animals feeding on unripe fruits, seeds, roots and bulbs exhibit higher activity of salivary α-amylase than species consuming ripe fruits, insects, and vertebrates. CONCLUSION In contrast to carnivores and most herbivores, omnivores have considerable amounts of amylase in their saliva. Though, the starch-digesting enzyme has been investigated well, the physiological function of amylase in saliva has not yet been explored completely. It can be hypothesized that nutritional habits affect expression of enzymes in the saliva of animals. It has to be verified, whether α-amylase is genetically or epigenetically determined. As a consequence of the development of agriculture, and following dietary changes, amylase can be recognized as a nutritional and evolutionary marker. Interdisciplinary evolutionary research might offer new perspectives for preventive dentistry.

Abstract
The acquired enamel pellicle (AEP) is a thin acellular film that forms on tooth surfaces upon exposure to the oral environment. It consists predominantly of salivary proteins, but also includes non-salivary-derived proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Since it is the interface between teeth and the oral environment, the AEP plays a key role in the maintenance of oral health by regulating processes including lubrication, demineralization, and remineralization and shaping the composition of early microbial flora adhering to tooth surfaces. Knowledge of the 3D structure of the AEP and how that correlates with its protective functions may provide insight into several oral pathological states, including caries, erosion, and periodontal disease. This review intends to update readers about the latest discoveries related to the formation, ultrastructure, composition, and functions of the AEP, as well as the future of pellicle research, with particular emphasis on the emerging role of proteomic and microscopy techniques in oral diagnosis and therapeutics.

Abstract
The acquired dental pellicle plays a critical role in the adhesion and detachment of dental plaque bacteria. It has been reported that titanium dioxide biomaterials decompose single-protein films by photocatalysis. However, it is not known whether this can also be achieved with complex structured pellicle films. This in vitro study investigated in real-time the formation and photocatalytic decomposition of human pellicle at anatase-saliva interfaces. Nanostructured polycrystalline anatase layers were deposited on titanium-coated quartz crystals by magnetron-sputtering, serving as a model for titanium implant surfaces. The quartz crystals were used as acoustic sensors in a quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) system with dissipation. In situ UV irradiation of pellicle-covered anatase caused a statistically significant decrease of the adsorbed salivary mass. In contrast, photocatalytic decomposition of pellicle could not be observed on reference titanium surfaces. Wettability characterization revealed superhydrophilicity of anatase upon UV irradiation, whereas titanium was unaffected. XPS measurements provide further information concerning the decomposition of the salivary films. The results suggest that the photocatalytic activity of polycrystalline anatase-modified biomaterial surfaces is able to decompose complex structured macromolecular pellicle films. Therefore, this study opens the way to surface modifications supporting therapeutic approaches of biofilm removal.

Abstract
The pathogenicity of the dental biofilm is modified by salivary and dietary factors, as well as by the characteristics of the tooth structure. The composition of the acquired pellicle can modify the mineral homeostasis of the tooth surfaces and the attachment of bacteria for the development of the biofilm. The substitution of sucrose from the diet by other less cariogenic sugars and/or sugar substitutes can contribute to reducing the pathogenicity of the biofilm. Saliva clears, dilutes, neutralizes, and buffers acids produced by the biofilm. In addition, saliva provides the biofilm/tooth structure with Ca(2+) PO(4)(3-) and F(-) ions, which can positively affect the equilibrium between demineralization-remineralization toward the remineralization and modify the susceptibility of the tooth structure to caries progression.

Abstract
Organisms use proteins such as statherin to control the growth of hydroxyapatite (HAP), which is the principal component of teeth and bone. Though much emphasis has been placed on the acidic character of these proteins, the role of their basic amino acids is not well understood. In this work, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance was used to probe the interaction of the basic arginine side chains with the HAP surface. Statherin samples were individually labeled at each arginine site, and the distance to the surface was measured using the Rotational Echo DOuble Resonance (REDOR) technique. The results indicate a strong coupling between the R9 and R10 residues and the phosphorus atoms on the surface, with internuclear distances of 4.62 ± 0.29 Å and 4.53 ± 0.16 Å, respectively. Conversely, results also indicate weak coupling between R13 and the surface, suggesting this residue is more removed from the surface than R9 and R10. Combining these results with previous data, a new model for the molecular recognition of HAP by statherin is constructed.

Abstract
The present study proposes a strategy for human in vivo acquired enamel pellicle (AEP) peptidome characterisation based on sequential extraction with guanidine and TFA followed by MALDI-TOF/TOF identification. Three different nanoscale analytical approaches were used: samples were subjected to tryptic digestion followed by nano-HPLC and mass spectrometry (MS and MS/MS) analysis. Undigested samples were analysed by LC-MS (both linear and reflector modes) and LC-MS/MS analysis, and samples were subjected to nano-HPLC followed by on-plate digestion and mass spectrometry (MS and MS/MS) analysis. The majority of the identifications corresponded to peptide/protein fragments of salivary protein, belonging to the classes: acidic PRPs, basic PRPs, statherin, cystatins S and SN and histatin 1 (all also identified in intact form). Overall, more than 90 peptides/proteins were identified. Results clearly show that peptides with acidic groups are enriched in the TFA fraction while peptides with no acidic or phosphate groups are prevalent on the guanidine extract. Also, phosphorylated peptides were observed mainly on the TFA fraction. Fragments present in the AEP show a predominance of cleavage points located at Arg, Tyr and Lys residues. Obtained data suggest that proteolytic activity could influence AEP formation and composition.

Abstract
Proteins are found to be involved in interaction with solid surfaces in numerous natural events. Acidic proteins that adsorb to crystal faces of a biomineral to control the growth and morphology of hard tissue are only one example. Deducing the mechanisms of surface recognition exercised by proteins has implications to osteogenesis, pathological calcification and other proteins functions at their adsorbed state. Statherin is an enamel pellicle protein that inhibits hydroxyapatite nucleation and growth, lubricates the enamel surface, and is recognized by oral bacteria in periodontal diseases. Here, we highlight some of the insights we obtained recently using both thermodynamic and solid state NMR measurements to the adsorption process of statherin to hydroxyapatite. We combine macroscopic energy characterization with microscopic structural findings to present our views of protein adsorption mechanisms and the structural changes accompanying it and discuss the implications of these studies to understanding the functions of the protein adsorbed to the enamel surfaces.

Abstract
Several salivary anti-microbial and buffering components are part of the acquired in vivo pellicle. The purpose of the present in situ study was to visualise these proteins within the in situ formed pellicle and to investigate their distribution with respect to pellicle formation time and intra-oral localisation. Bovine enamel slabs were fixed on individual splints. They were carried by 6 subjects buccally and palatally in the region of the upper first molar teeth over 30 and 120 min, respectively, for in situ pellicle formation. After intra-oral exposure, enamel specimens were processed for transmission electron microscopy. Secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA), lactoferrin, lysozyme, carbonic anhydrase (CA) I and II were visualised successfully in the in situ pellicle layer by gold immuno-labelling. All components were found to be distributed randomly within all layers of the pellicle. Significantly higher amounts of the proteins were detected after 120 min of formation time. Furthermore, significantly more labelled lactoferrin and lysozyme were found on buccal surfaces compared with palatal sites. For CA I, CA II and sIgA, no significant influence of the localisation was detected. All investigated anti-bacterial and buffering proteins are distributed randomly in the in situ formed pellicle layer and thus could contribute to its protective properties as an early defence barrier.

Abstract
Amylase and lysozyme are components of the salivary pellicle, exposing considerable enzymatic activity in the immobilized state. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the influence of different solid substrata on the amount and distribution of amylase and lysozyme exposed on the surface of the salivary pellicle formed in situ. Slabs of titanium, feldspar ceramic, and bovine enamel were fixed on the buccal sites of individual splints worn by three subjects for 3 or 30 min, respectively, to allow pellicle formation. Subsequently, slabs were removed from the splints and rinsed with running water. Detection of amylase and lysozyme was performed by FEI-SEM after gold-immunolabeling of the enzymes. Both enzymes were found to be distributed randomly at the pellicle surface. Irrespective of formation time and substratum, significantly more labeled lysozyme molecules (5.23 +/- 4.5 microm(-2)) were detected compared with amylase (3.4 +/- 2.9 microm(-2)). Neither the substratum nor the pellicle formation time had significant impact on the amount of the respective enzyme that could be detected. This study for the first time provides evidence, that amylase and lysozyme are exposed at the surface of the salivary pellicle formed in situ on titanium and ceramics. Both enzymes are distributed randomly on the surface of the pellicle, irrespective of the underlying substratum.

Abstract
Statherin is an enamel pellicle protein that inhibits hydroxyapatite (HAP) nucleation and growth, lubricates the enamel surface, and is recognized by oral bacteria in periodontal diseases. We report here from solid-state NMR measurements that the protein's C-terminal region folds into an alpha-helix upon adsorption to HAP crystals. This region contains the binding sites for bacterial fimbriae that mediate bacterial cell adhesion to the surface of the tooth. The helical segment is shown through long-range distance measurements to fold back onto the intermediate region (residues Y16-P28) defining the global fold of the protein. Statherin, previously shown to be unstructured in solution, undergoes conformation selection on its substrate mineral surface. This surface-induced folding of statherin can be related to its functionality in inhibiting HAP crystal growth and can explain how oral pathogens selectively recognize HAP-bound statherin.

Abstract
Lysozyme and amylase are the most abundant enzymatic components in the salivary pellicle. The purpose of the present study was to determine the influence of different substrata on amylase and lysozyme activity in salivary pellicles formed in situ. Slabs (5 mm diameter) of bovine dentine and enamel, of titanium, gold alloy, resin composite, PMMA, amalgam, and feldspar ceramic were fixed on the buccal sites of individual splints worn by six subjects for 30 min to allow pellicle formation. Thereafter, slabs were removed from the trays and rinsed with running water. Lysozyme activity was determined via lysis of Micrococcus lysodeicticus. Amylase activity was measured with a photometric method using 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl-4-O-beta-D-galactopyranosylmaltotriosid (GalG2CNP) as substrate. Both pellicle enzymes were evaluated in the immobilized as well as in the desorbed state. Salivary enzyme activities were also measured. All investigated pellicles exhibited lysozyme and amylase activity. Great intraindividual and interindividual differences were observed. Over all samples, immobilized amylase activity amounted to 0.65 +/- 0.64 mU/cm2. Immobilized lysozyme activity was 5.04 +/- 1.55 U/cm2. There were no major effects of the substratum on pellicle-bound amylase and lysozyme activity. Immobilized and desorbed enzyme activities revealed a strong correlation (lysozyme: r = 0.700; amylase: r = 0.990). Salivary enzyme activities had only little impact on pellicle-bound enzyme activities. Amylase and lysozyme are incorporated in the acquired in situ pellicle on different solid surfaces in an active conformation. Dental material and enzyme activity in the saliva have only little impact on enzymatic activity in the pellicle in situ.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Lysozyme is one of the most abundant enzymatic components in the salivary pellicle. The purpose of the present in situ study was to determine if and to which extent lysozyme immobilised in pellicles exposes enzymatic activity. Influence of different oral sites and pellicle formation time on enzyme activity was also evaluated. Bovine enamel slabs (5mm diameter) were fixed on buccal and oral sites of individual trays worn by six subjects for 3 and 30 min on different days. After pellicle formation, slabs were removed from the trays and rinsed with running water. Afterwards, pellicle-bound lysozyme activity was determined via lysis of Micrococcus lysodeicticus photometrically in two steps. In a first step, lysozyme was desorbed in phosphate buffer and dissolved activity was measured. In a second step, slabs were incubated in phosphate buffer with the substrate and remaining immobilised activity was determined. All investigated pellicles exhibited lysozyme activity. Great intra- and inter-individual differences were observed. Mean desorbed activity of 3 min-pellicles amounted to 26.06+/-17.81 U/cm(2) (30 min; 26.79+/-17.48). The remaining immobilised activity was 13.54+/-11.42 for 3 min-pellicles and 16.08+/-12.81 for 30 min-pellicles. Pellicle derived lysozyme showed a Michaelis type kinetic. CONCLUSION In situ pellicle exposes lysozyme activity even after a 3 min formation period. Exposed enzyme activity is neither influenced by pellicle formation time nor by the site of pellicle formation. It shows great inter- and intra-individual differences.

Abstract
The acquired pellicle is a biofilm, free of bacteria, covering oral hard and soft tissues. It is composed of mucins, glycoproteins and proteins, among which are several enzymes. This review summarizes the present state of research on enzymes and their functions in the dental pellicle. Theoretically, all enzymes present in the oral cavity could be incorporated into the pellicle, but apparently enzymes are adsorbed selectively onto dental surfaces. There is clear evidence that enzymes are structural elements of the pellicle. Thereby they exhibit antibacterial properties but also facilitate bacterial colonization of dental hard tissues. Moreover, the immobilized enzymes are involved in modification and in homeostasis of the salivary pellicle. It has been demonstrated that amylase, lysozyme, carbonic anhydrases, glucosyltransferases and fructosyltransferase are immobilized in an active conformation in the pellicle layer formed in vivo. Other enzymes, such as peroxidase or transglutaminase, have been investigated in experimental pellicles. Despite the depicted impact of enzymes on the formation and function of pellicle, broader knowledge on their properties in the in vivo-formed pellicle is required. This might be beneficial in the development of new preventive and diagnostic strategies.

Abstract
Immunological and biochemical analyses have shown that alpha-amylase is an essential component of the acquired pellicle. After adsorption, this enzyme might act as a receptor for bacterial adherence. However, data indicating that amylase is bound to the pellicle surface in vivo and thus available for adhering bacteria are rare. Therefore, the present study focused on alpha-amylase within the pellicle formed in situ, using gold-immunolabeling electron microscopic techniques. Pellicles were formed by intra-oral exposure of enamel specimens for 30 and 120 min in six subjects. The results obtained by transmission electron microscopy indicate that amylase was randomly distributed in the pellicle layer without any preferential localization within the pellicle. Thus, salivary alpha-amylase might be considered as an important structural component that is even involved in the early stages of pellicle formation. The findings of field emission in-lens scanning electron microscopy provided evidence that the enzyme is located on the pellicle surface. It could be concluded that alpha-amylase might act as a receptor for bacterial adherence to the pellicle in vivo.

Abstract
The in vivo formed salivary pellicle is composed of an outer globular and a densely structured basal layer. This study developed a method for selective recovering of these pellicle layers from the enamel surface. Two-hour in situ pellicles were formed by intraoral exposure of enamel specimens in two adults. Pellicle-covered enamel specimens were treated either mechanically (scraping with scaler, curette or razor blade, or rubbing with a sponge) or chemically (phosphate buffer, NaCl, NaOCl, CaCl2, NaSCN, urea, tetrahydrofurane, guanidine, SDS, HCl, or EDTA with or without additional ultrasonication). Specimens were processed for transmission electron microscopic analysis to detect pellicle residues remaining on the enamel surface after the different treatments. Most of the chemical treatments caused partial, incomplete removal of the globular layer. Complete removal of the globular layer without disruption of the basal layer was obtained by sponge rubbing or by CaCl2 combined with ultrasonication, whereas scraping caused partial disruption of the basal layer. Removal of the basal layer was observed after treatment with HCl, EDTA, or NaOCl combined with ultrasonication. Electrophoretical analysis of recovered pellicle fractions indicate that combination of sponge-rubbing followed by EDTA treatment can be recommended for stepwise removal of the globular and basal pellicle layers.
