As the first digestive fluid in the alimentary canal, saliva is secreted in response to food, assisting intake and initiating the digestion of starch and lipids. During this process, saliva acts as a solvent of taste substances and affects taste sensitivity.

Xerostomia and Hyposalivation

Drugs & Aging, 1999

Dental Caries Induction in Hyposalivated Rats

Caries Research, 2009
The effects of hyposalivation on the induction of dental caries and on the oral microflora were examined in SPF Sprague-Dawley rats with or without inoculation of oral streptococci.
