The relationship between salivary immunoglobulins and dental caries experience was studied by determining the caries experience, IgA concentration, and IgG concentration in whole, unstimulated saliva of 106 people. The findings indicate that some individuals are immunized, but it is not clear if this antibody provides protection.
