Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Dental Research
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Gottlieb's proteolytic theory suggests enzymes contribute to enamel caries.
  • Investigating the role of proteolytic enzymes in dental demineralization is crucial.
  • Understanding enamel caries mechanisms requires examining enzymatic activity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effect of proteolytic enzymes (papain, trypsin, collagenase) on artificial enamel caries.
  • To determine if these enzymes influence the demineralization of human enamel.
  • To test Gottlieb's proteolytic theory concerning enamel caries.

Main Methods:

  • In vitro and in vivo experiments using three proteolytic enzymes on human enamel.
  • Artificial caries development and demineralization were assessed.
  • Analysis of calcium content in demineralizing solutions and enamel powder treatments.

Main Results:

  • Enzyme treatment did not increase the depth of artificial enamel caries.
  • No significant increase in calcium content was observed in demineralizing solutions.
  • Enamel powder treated with plaque fluid and demineralizing liquid showed no difference between groups.

Conclusions:

  • The findings do not support Gottlieb's proteolytic theory for enamel caries.
  • Proteolytic enzymes do not appear to play a significant role in enamel demineralization.
  • Further research may be needed to fully elucidate enamel caries etiology.
