While entrepreneurs create Web sites to profit from these advances, scientists continue to focus on saliva's role in oral health and to explore new approaches to therapy forsalivary deficiency.Advantages of AccessibilityAmong body fluids, saliva is particularly easy to collect and economical to transport. However, because it is difficult to measure trace concentrations of physiologic compounds in saliva, blood and urine are used more frequently to resolve clinical questions. ...
