摘要
Inhibition of calcium phosphate precipitation in saliva, and prevention of the formation of mineral accretions on tooth surfaces, has been ascribed to the existence of inhibiting salivary macromolecules. Marked reductions in the crystal growth rate of hydroxyapatite (HA) seeds were measured in supersaturated solutions containing either of two proline-rich proteins, PRP1 or PRP3, or statherin; the three macromolecules were isolated from human parotid saliva. The reductions were also observed when the HA seeds were pretreated with solutions of the macromolecules before adding them to the supersaturated calcium phosphate solution. This effect was very similar in the case of the two PRPs and it was directly related to the extent of adsorption site coverage of these proteins on the HA seeds. The effect of statherin was larger than anticipated from its adsorption behavior. However, comparison on the basis of number of moles adsorbed per unit area of HA shows that the PRP are more effective inhibitors than statherin. The macromolecule concentrations used were considerably lower than those in the salivery secretions, therefore these macromolecules could readily prevent mineral accretion on tooth surfaces through their adsorption onto the enamel surface. © 1979 Springer-Verlag.
