Antoon J.M. Ligtenberg and Enno C.I. Veerman

Description:

Health professionals are more and more aware of the importance of saliva for oral health and well-being. As saliva secretion is steadily compromised with advancing age, it becomes a factor of concern in societies with an aging population, especially with a growing number of people who keep their own teeth.

In medical diagnostics, saliva shows its value as a safe economical alternative to blood. This publication provides a comprehensiver overview of the latest developments in salivary research by some of the world's leading experts in the field. Chapters deal with various aspects: anatomy and physiology, e.g. regeneration of salivary glands, saliva functions, e.g. its protective and rheological properties, and diagnostics and disorders, e.g. xerostomia and hypersalivation.
