First seen Feb 20, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study examined whether certain natural proteins in saliva are linked to severe tooth decay in young children.

The goal was to better understand why some children are more prone to decay, but no treatment or prevention was tested.
