The pellicle acts as a physiological mediator, protects the tooth surface from mechanical damages and reduces acid-induced enamel demineralization. The aim of this pilot study was to identify and characterize individual proteomic profiles of the initial pellicle formed on dental enamel and to compare the profiles with the corresponding saliva to analyze specific adsorption patterns occurring during pellicle formation. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The 3-min pellicle of five subjects formed in situ on bovine enamel was eluted chemically and analyzed separately by nano-mass spectrometry. The analysis of the corresponding saliva was conducted in parallel. RESULTS Up to 498 pellicle proteins and up to 1032 salivary proteins were identified on individual level. Comparison of the salivary and pellicle protein profiles demonstrates the pellicle formation to be highly individual. Nineteen proteins were significantly enriched in the 3-min pellicle of all subjects and 22 proteins were significantly depleted indicating that pellicle formation relies on selective adsorption. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE The short-term enamel pellicle is composed of several hundreds of adsorbed salivary proteins and reveals a highly individual proteomic profile.

Here, we describe the case of a child carrying bi-allelic mutations in AFG3L2 and presenting with ictal paroxysmal episodes associated with neuroimaging suggestive of basal ganglia involvement.
