Description	132The purpose of this chapter is to describe the properties and proposed functions of statherin and the acidic proline-rich proteins (PRP). These two types of phosphoproteins are present in the human parotid and submandibular salivary secretions and possess the unusual property of inhibiting primary (spontaneous) and secondary precipitation (crystal growth) of calcium phosphate salts. This appears to be a necessary and important activity in the oral cavity, because human salivary secretions are supersaturated with respect to most calcium phosphate salts. Consequently, it has been proposed that the biological function of statherin and the PRP is to inhibit precipitation of calcium phosphate salts in the salivary glands, in the oral fluid, and onto tooth surfaces. The resulting stable but supersaturated state of the salivary secretions, with respect to calcium phosphate salts, constitutes a protective and reparative environment which is important for the integrity of the teeth.
