“…The simulated biomolecules together their Raman bands identified in the literature were glutamine (776, 1056.50, 1133, 1225.50, 1330, 1357, 1417, and 1732.20 cm À1 ), [42,43] glycine (875.00 and 1699 cm À1 ), [42][43][44][45] hydroxyproline (208, 320, 369, 964, 1083, 1226, 1272, 1302, 1372, and 1420 cm À1 ) [46,47] proline (438, 455, 580, 915, 986, 1171, 1191, and 1457 cm À1 ), [47,48] and tryptophan (432, 540, 579, 622, 706, 760, 1008, 1015, 1118, 1440, and 1614 cm À1 ), [49][50][51] which are of great importance because they interact with the tooth surface, modulating bacterial adhesion as well as the deposition of calcium and phosphate crystals in the enamel matrix. [52,53] The simulation of the biomarker ALT, which is considered a cytoplasmic enzyme typically found in human blood plasma, bile, cerebrospinal fluid, and saliva, was also carried out. [54] Figure S5 shows these simulations.…”

Many research areas have developed techniques to diagnose lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases, stress, caries, and periodontitis by analyzing saliva. This paper describes a study that predicts periodontitis based on Raman spectra of saliva and biomarkers, such as albumin and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). The spectra were smoothed using a Whittaker filter and baseline correction in MATLAB. In addition, a residual analysis of intensities was performed, and the root mean square deviation was calculated and used as a threshold to establish the active bands of interest, based on the Raman bands associated with albumin and ALT. ORCA quantum chemistry software was used to predict the fundamental frequencies and intensities of some saliva constituents. Support vector machines were used to perform spectral distinction and discriminate between healthy and periodontitis patients.

“…Infection control protocols, the importance of triaging, [51] and a very meticulous history taking should be taught to the students from the pre-clinical training stage itself. [52] The hospitals and clinics should have standard operating procedures prepared for these, which can be displayed as charts and posters in the operatory, classrooms, and other areas for ready reference. The oral health-care providers should educate and instruct patients regarding the importance of preventive home care methods for maintaining good oral health during COVID-19 pandemic.…”

Oral health-care providers are at risk of transmitting and contracting COVID-19 mainly because of the proximity of the care provider to the patient’s oropharyngeal region, exposure to saliva and blood, a lot of aerosol-generating procedures involved, and a fear of cross-contamination among patients. The role and challenges of disinfection, sterilization and control of nosocomial infection have increased in the present era when new pathogens are emerging and older have developed resistance against antimicrobials. Prevention of oral health problems, timely check-ups, and prophylactic dental therapies may be one way of reducing the need for dental procedures. This paper intends to highlight the clinical, practical and economic impact COVID-19 is imposing on the oral health-care sector and the challenges that need to be answered in the future. Brainstorming and research are required to find out affordable, yet effective alternatives to sustain dental profession in the present as well as the future.
