Saliva-Check BUFFER is a saliva-testing examination tool that is used to educate patients, assist in preventive treatment planning and properly select dental materials in order to initiate changes in the patient’s oral hygiene. This product plays a significant role in maintaining oral health. It identifies, measures and assesses the patient’s saliva condition, which helps determine the body's possible risk of caries. It is also helpful for testing hydration, salivary consistency, resting saliva pH, stimulated saliva flow, stimulated saliva pH and saliva buffering capacity. The Saliva-Check BUFFER is ideal for use during routine oral examinations.

Demonstrates salivary dysfunction to patients
- Offers factual explanation for disfunctions such as: difficulty in eating or swallowing, changes in taste, tooth sensitivity, soft tissue trauma and inadequate denture retention
- Validates signs of patient salivary disfunction including: frothy mucinous saliva, increased saliva viscosity, sublingual pooling, dry mucus strands, tongue coating, epithelial atrophy, poorly mineralized calculus (or no calculus) on lower anterior teeth, poor labial minor salivary gland production, candidal infection, cervical plaque, coronol and root surface caries, accelerated tooth wear and erosion, and cervical dentinal hypersensitivity
Helps find factors that affect salivary disfunction
- Communication vehicle to identify contributing factors like: dehydration, stress, smoking, disease, salivary gland pathology, chronic renal failure, drug abuse, menopausal hormone imbalance and medicine side effects
