• Checks the flow rate, viscosity and consistency of non-stimulated saliva. This will provide information about how the patient's lifestyle may be consequently affecting their oral health
• Checks the pH of the patient's resting saliva. This will determine whether acid levels may be dangerously high, hence possibly causing erosion or caries problems
• Checks the quantity of stimulated saliva a patient can produce. This enables you to identify any major salivary gland diseases
