The role of saliva in maintaining oral homeostasis
Open accessAbstract
Dental practitioners are becoming more cognizant of the importance of saliva as they treat a greater number of older patients, especially those with medical problems requiring a variety of medications that have xerostomia as a side effect. This article discusses salivary composition and function in a broad perspective, relating them to clinical concerns and current research. Understanding the role of saliva in maintaining health, as well as its relation to oral disease, is vital to the competent dental practitioner.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
