About This Trial
The goal of this observational study is to learn if the composition of salivary proteins in 3-year-old children, from communities with documented varying caries risks, can be used to identify future diagnostic predictors for caries risk.
The main question to answer is:
• Can the host´s salivary protein profile (expression and abundance) show a correlation with the caries prevalence between the i…
