Contact angle measurements were employed so that we could study the wetting properties of human whole saliva and saliva substitutes containing mucins or carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) on human oral mucosa (in vivo) and on ground and polished human enamel (in vitro). A new approach was introduced for measuring contact angles on human oral mucosa in vivo. It was shown that the wetting properties of CMC- and mucin-containing saliva substitutes on human enamel were significantly better than those of human whole saliva. On human oral mucosa, the wetting properties of CMC-containing saliva substitutes and human whole saliva were comparable, but were surpassed by those of the mucin-containing saliva substitutes. Mucin-containing substitutes thus provide good wetting properties on ground and polished enamel as well as on oral mucosa.
采用接触角测量方法，以便我们能够研究人类全唾液以及含有黏蛋白或羧甲基纤维素（CMC）的唾液替代物在人体口腔黏膜（体内）以及研磨和抛光的人牙釉质（体外）上的润湿性。引入了一种新方法来测量体内人体口腔黏膜上的接触角。结果表明，含CMC和黏蛋白的唾液替代物在人牙釉质上的润湿性明显优于人类全唾液。在人体口腔黏膜上，含CMC的唾液替代物和人类全唾液的润湿性相当，但含黏蛋白的唾液替代物的润湿性更优。因此，含黏蛋白的替代物在研磨和抛光的牙釉质以及口腔黏膜上均具有良好的润湿性。
