The salivary pellicle, an adlayer formed by adsorption of salivary components on teeth and dental biomaterials, has direct consequences on basic outcomes of dentistry. Here, we provide an overview of salivary pellicle formation processes with a critical focus on dental biomaterials. We describe and critique the array of salivary pellicle measurement techniques. We also discuss factors that may affect salivary pellicle formation and the heterogeneity of the published literature describing salivary pellicle formation on dental biomaterials. Finally, we survey the many effects salivary pellicles have on dental biomaterials and highlight its implications on design criteria for dental biomaterials. Future investigations may lead to rationally designed dental biomaterials to control the salivary pellicle and enhance material function and patient outcomes.
唾液膜是唾液成分在牙齿和牙科生物材料上吸附形成的覆盖层，对牙科的基本结果有直接影响。在这里，我们提供了一个关于唾液膜形成过程的概述，重点是牙科生物材料。我们描述并评价了一系列唾液膜测量技术。我们还讨论了可能影响唾液膜形成的因素以及描述牙科生物材料上唾液膜形成的文献的异质性。最后，我们调查了唾液膜对牙科生物材料的诸多影响，并强调了其对牙科生物材料设计标准的意义。未来的研究可能会导致设计合理的牙科生物材料来控制唾液膜，从而提高材料功能和患者的预后。
