Abstract
Objectives
The salivary pellicle regulates interfacial processes on dental surfaces, offering protection against erosion and influencing bacterial adhesion. CaneCPI-5, a sugarcane-derived peptide inspired by cystatins, has been proposed as a cost-effective agent for pellicle modification. This scoping review evaluates the potential of CaneCPI-5 in pellicle engineering, particularly regarding erosion prevention and bacterial adhesion.
Data
Studies investigating the effects of CaneCPI-5 on pellicles formed by human saliva on enamel or dentin were included.
Sources
A literature search was conducted in Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science up to May 2025. Only English-language research articles were considered. Hand-searching, including checking reference lists, was not conducted.
Study selection
A total of 131 records were identified. After removing duplicates, the titles, abstracts and full-text were screened, resulting in 20 included studies. Most studies were conducted on enamel pellicles (n = 17), with some on dentin (n = 2) or both (n = 1). CaneCPI-5 demonstrated enamel-binding ability and modified the pellicle proteome by increasing acid-resistant proteins, enhancing resistance to erosion. Its effects on bacterial adhesion and caries prevention were inconsistent. Combinations with other agents, particularly vitamin E, showed synergistic effects, though overall findings were mixed.
Conclusions
CaneCPI-5 shows promise as a pellicle-modifying agent for erosion protection. However, current evidence is limited, and findings remain inconclusive, merit further research under clinically relevant conditions.
Clinical significance
Intentional modification of the pellicle with peptides like CaneCPI-5 may improve its protective properties and support preventive measures. Nonetheless, the long-term effects and clinical applicability of such modifications remain unclear. Further studies are needed to confirm their efficacy in the dynamic oral environment.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dentistry has an open access mirror journal The Journal of Dentistry: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The Journal of Dentistry is the leading international dental journal within the field of Restorative Dentistry. Placing an emphasis on publishing novel and high-quality research papers, the Journal aims to influence the practice of dentistry at clinician, research, industry and policy-maker level on an international basis.
Topics covered include the management of dental disease, periodontology, endodontology, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, dental biomaterials science, long-term clinical trials including epidemiology and oral health, technology transfer of new scientific instrumentation or procedures, as well as clinically relevant oral biology and translational research.
The Journal of Dentistry will publish original scientific research papers including short communications. It is also interested in publishing review articles and leaders in themed areas which will be linked to new scientific research. Conference proceedings are also welcome and expressions of interest should be communicated to the Editor.
