title: [Non mucin proteins of saliva with high homology of polypeptide chains].
abstract: To non mucin proteins of human saliva belong: cystatins, statherin, histatins and acidic proline-rich protein. These saliva proteins influence hard and soft tissues by forming a pellicle layer on oral mucosa and enamel, by taking part in removing bacteria or initiating of bacterial colonization. Most of them are able to inhibit the formation of dental calculus and control the calcium phosphate homeostasis.
