Lubricating properties of the dental pellicle: A scoping review
The pellicle may offer limited protection against mechanical wear, primarily through a boundary lubrication regime, while evidence regarding its structural integrity and resistance under mechanical stress remains inconclusive, highlighting the need for further research to validate relevant parameters and clarify underlying mechanisms.
