ABSTRACT

Introduction: salivary proteins are key elements in the important functions saliva plays in the maintenance of oral health.
Objective: to lay the foundations of the functions for the principal salivary proteins according to the structure-function relationship of macromolecules.
Methods: a review was performed about the subject through the consultation of data bases PubMed, Hinari, Secimed, Scielo and EBSCO.
Results: the molecular structures, functions and mechanisms were described for the salivary proteins: mucins, agglutinin, proline rich proteins, immunoglobulins, lysozyme, salival peroxidase, lactoferrin, statherins, cystatins and histatins.
Conclusions: the mechanisms of salivary proteins make evident the structure-function relationship of macromolecules and fundament their role in saliva functions related to the maintenance of oral health.
