Saliva is crucial to maintaining oral health and facilitating chewing, swallowing, and speech functions. Decreased saliva secretion, known as hyposalivation, impairs these functions and increases the risk of dental caries and other infectious diseases in the oral cavity.Saliva exhibits various rheological properties, with mucin being a factor in determining these properties. Alterations in these properties can also affect the sensation of dry mouth. In this article, we focus on the spinnbarkeit of saliva using the Neva Meter instrument and provide a methodology for fully understanding the appropriate conditions for its use.
唾液对于维护口腔健康和促进咀嚼、吞咽和言语功能至关重要。唾液分泌减少，即低分泌，会损害这些功能，并增加口腔龋齿和其他传染病的风险。唾液表现出各种流变学特性，而粘蛋白是决定这些特性的因素之一。这些特性的改变也会影响口干的感觉。在本文中，我们使用 Neva 仪关注唾液的拉伸性，并提供一种全面了解其使用适当条件的方法。
