Resumo
Objective: This study aimed to carry out a systematic review of observational studies searching the association
between salivary factors (amount and quality of saliva) and noncarious cervical lesions (NCCL) in individuals
with permanent dentition.
Design: Cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort studies performed in humans with permanent dentition (population) and considering noncarious cervical lesions (outcome) in association with salivary characteristics
(exposure) were included. PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, LILACS/BBO, Scopus, Embase, IBCT, NICE,
OpenGrey, and Google Scholar were searched, with no language or date restrictions. Of 6561 potentially eligible
studies, 142 were selected for full-text analysis. Three reviewers independently selected the studies, performed
data extraction, and quality analysis through the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale.
Results: Finally, ten references were included in the review, four case-control and six cross-sectional studies.
Several salivary parameters were evaluated. Some parameters were considered associated with the presence of
noncarious cervical lesions: salivary buffering capacity, salivary pH, citric acid, and calcium and potassium
levels. The methodological quality varied across studies, with high heterogeneity among them.
Conclusions: Some associations between saliva and NCCL suggesting protective factors and others risk factors
were found. However, the evidence is sparse and comes from a few studies with great heterogeneity. New scientific evidence, with standardized methods, should be encouraged. Understanding salivary parameters that
influence the occurrence of NCCL is important to guide dentists in relation to etiological factors that could
potentially be neglected. The results may help in the development of new and early diagnostic methods and
treatments for noncarious cervical lesions.
