Searches were run in PubMed, Scopus and Embase along with gray literature. The searches were limited to studies on humans, published from inception to February 2024. Observational studies exploring correlations between salivary proteins and caries in children during mixed dentition (6\u201313\u00a0years) were included. The methodological quality of included studies was analyzed independently by two reviewers using the Joanna Briggs checklist and Newcastle\u2013Ottawa scale, respectively followed by a qualitative synthesis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 17 primary studies were included. The studies recruited 1,330 subjects including 612 caries-active and 505 caries-free subjects. The total protein content was higher in caries-active subjects. Among the glycoproteins, IgA and MUC5B were higher in caries-free subjects while the levels of MUC7 were lower in the caries-free group. Antimicrobial peptides and proteinase-3 levels were also higher in caries-free subjects. Contradictory findings were reported for the association of \u03b1- amylase and carbonic anhydrase with caries status.
