Abstract: With the accomplishment of human gene sequencing and the coming of post genomics time, proteomics was born at the right moment. Proteomics hitherto has started to step into many fields including oral diseases. Caries is the most common oral disease, and using proteomics to study its particular occurrence and developmental mechanism will be helpful to deeper understand the occurrence and development of caries, thus to carry out better prevention and treatment. The article reviewed the application of proteomics in caries research.
