Saliva is a vital body fluid, without it, continued healthy functioning of the oral cavity would not be possible. The multiple functions of saliva relate both to its fluid characteristics and specific components. As a fluid, saliva facilitates mastication, bolus formation, swallowing, lubrication of the mucosa and speech. Specific components of saliva contribute to antimicrobial activity, buffering actions, digestion and the protection and maintenance of mucous membrane.
