Purpose: To review and critically analyze the literature concerning the influence of salivary contamination on the bond quality of adhesives used in restorative materials by comparing and contrasting the different adhesive materials.

Methods: A detailed search on PUBMED, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar and Web of Science was carried out to identify publications on salivary contamination and dental adhesive materials, from 1990-2017 (March) which resulted in a total of 6,202 web-identified publications. After screening titles/abstracts and de-duplicating, 54 publications were selected that matched the requirements for this review. The condition for selection was English literature concerning the effect of salivary contamination on the adhesives used in restorative dentistry. The obtained articles were systematically evaluated.

Results: Salivary contamination of adhesives during restorative procedures statistically (64.6%) showed an adverse effect on adhesives, occurring either at one or many stages of restoration. Methodological dissimilarities impeded the direct comparison of the selected studies. Nevertheless, the 2-step etch and rinse adhesives were relatively less vulnerable to salivary contamination than the others. 65% of the evaluated studies for decontamination achieved improved bonding when the contaminated surface was subjected to some kind of decontamination procedure. However, the duration and other specificities were not standard in all the evaluations and need further research to assess the course of action. It is necessary to do long term studies to evaluate the effectiveness of contaminated adhesive over time.

Clinical Significance: Salivary contamination is a potential cause for poor bond quality of adhesive systems during restorative procedures and to provide a successful treatment, proper care must be taken to ensure the operating area is free from contamination. Understanding the properties of the materials and its constituents as well as considering measures to manage the potential vulnerabilities due to salivary contamination in the area of bonding might help a clinician to produce better results.

Basal cell adenomas (BCAs) are benign epithelial tumors of the salivary gland, characterized by the proliferation of basaloid and luminal cells. In addition, a distinctive spindle cell stroma, that is immunohistochemically-positive for S100, is often observed in BCAs. Based on the ultrastructural findings, the S100-positive stroma was presumed to originate from neoplastic myoepithelial cells.

Immunoaffinity-enriched salivary small extracellular vesicles in periodontitis.

Extracell Vesicles Circ Nucl Acids

Epigenetics nanodiagnostic and therapeutic group, Center for Oral-facial Regeneration, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (COR3), School of Dentistry, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD 4006, Australia.

Aim: aliva extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as a significant reservoir of biomarkers that may be of clinical use in disease diagnosis. Saliva, however, contains EVs of both host- and bacterial- origin. Identifying suitable EVs for disease diagnosis involves enriching host EVs and limiting non-host contamination with effective isolation methods.

In crime investigations, the unambiguous identification of biological traces can be decisive for framing the events. In this study, we applied proteomics to analyze scant amounts of biological residues in the context of an alleged rape case, focusing on the detection of traces of vomit. We used high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) and two distinct proteomic workflows to identify proteins and possible proteolytic peptides in biological residues from clothing, bedding, and car upholstery from the alleged crime scene.

Disinfection effect of ozonated water on SARS-CoV-2 in the presence of salivary proteins.

J Hosp Infect

January 2025

Panasonic Corporation, Living Appliances and Solutions Company, Kusatsu, Shiga, Japan.

Background: Ozonated water is expected to be an effective disinfectant for SARS-CoV-2 present on environmental fomites; however, ozone is consumed by organic substances, resulting in attenuation of its effect. SARS-CoV-2 present in saliva can contaminate environmental surfaces; therefore, it is essential to understand the effect of organic substances in saliva on the disinfectant properties of ozonated water.

Aim: To assess organic factors in saliva and the extent to which they diminish the effect of ozonated water on SARS-CoV-2.

Salivary Antibody Responses to Potentially Waterborne and Environmentally Transmitted Infections Among Two Tribal Nations in the Southwest United States.

J Epidemiol Glob Health

December 2024

Office of Research and Development, United States Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, NC, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • * A total of 531 saliva samples were analyzed from two Tribal Nation festivals and compared with 453 samples previously collected in the Midwest, employing logistic and linear regression models.
  • * Results indicated varying seroprevalences of specific infections, with higher antibody responses to certain noroviruses and unique associations between lifestyle factors (like water consumption and animal contact) and infection rates in the Tribal populations.
