“…Felizardo et al (18) found an association between concentrations of lactoferrin and the DMFT index (decayed, missed and filled teeth index) and a tendency of association between lysozyme concentrations and DMFT. This information corroborates the protective role of salivary proteins in the etiology of dental caries, in an indirect way.…”

“…Mass et al 16 found an association between low lysozyme levels and decreased numbers of S. mutans and lactobacilli. 16 Felizardo et al 17 reported a slight association between lysozyme concentrations and DMFT; however, lactoferrin was positively correlated with both DMFT and restored teeth. 17 It has been reported that the decayed surface index rose with increases in the levels of lactoferrin in 15-years old children, 18 and Stuchell & Mandel 19 found that there was essentially no difference between the caries-free and caries-active groups in lysozyme concentrations.…”

“…[49] obtained similar results, unstimulated saliva sample taken from 32 caries-free children and 32 children with caries showed the concentration and lysozyme activity in children with caries were higher than in caries-free children (p = 0.008). Different results reported by Felizardo et.al [50] that found lysozyme unrelated to the caries experience. Hao & Lin's study [51] also states the same, there were no differences in lysozyme concentrations between caries groups and children have caries (dmft> 5).…”
