    Journal: J Dent; 2023 Feb; 129():104389. PubMed ID: 36526084.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To evaluate and compare the proteomic profile of acquired pellicle on smooth bovine tooth and tooth-coloured restorative materials, including resin composite (RC), glass ionomer cement (GIC), and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate modified GIC (CPP-ACP GIC). METHODS: Two-hour in situ pellicles on tooth/materials specimens mounted in oral appliances worn by ten healthy adults were investigated. Pellicle proteins and corresponding unstimulated whole saliva were quantitatively analysed through liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS: Significantly higher amounts of protein were adsorbed onto tooth surface than restorative materials tested (4.11 ± 0.69 vs. 2.54 ± 0.38/2.98 ± 0.80/3.01 ± 0.37 µg, RC/GIC/CPP-ACP GIC). From the ten participants, 1,444 (487-1,086/person), 1,454 (645-1,051/person), 1,731 (454-1,475/person), or 1,597 (423-1,261/person) pellicle proteins were detected at least once on bovine tooth, RC, GIC, or CPP-ACP GIC, respectively, and with 1,072 (304-793/person) salivary proteins identified. Comparative quantification revealed minor differences between tooth and restorative materials pellicle profiles. High inter-individual variations in pellicle protein composition were demonstrated. Compared to the salivary protein profile, 214/57 proteins showed significantly increased/decreased abundance in pellicle formed on at least one substrate (fold change > 3.325/fold change < 0.301). Gene Ontology enrichment analysis showed some pellicle proteins detected with increased affinity to tooth/material surface were identified as being related to "calcium-dependent protein binding" or "cell-cell adhesion mediator activity". CONCLUSION: Similar protein quantity and composition was observed in 2 h in situ pellicles formed on different smooth restorative material surfaces. The proteomic profile of pellicles appeared distinct from that of the corresponding unstimulated whole saliva. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Host backgrounds appeared more influential on the proteomic profile of the in situ acquired pellicle than the underlying substrate characteristics among systemically and orally healthy adults. Pellicle proteins preferentially adsorbed on tooth/materials were putatively associated with calcium ion homeostasis or host-microbiota interaction.
