Product Profile of Saliva Checking Buffer Kit
Saliva Checking Buffer Kit 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. The Buffer Kit identifies, measures and assesses the patient’s saliva condition, which helps determine the body’s possible risk of caries. The Buffer Kit allows stimulated saliva pH testing which measures the pH of saliva produced under masticatory stimulus. The Saliva Checking Buffer Kit is also helpful for testing hydration, salivary consistency, resting saliva pH, stimulated saliva flow, stimulated saliva pH and saliva buffering capacity. Saliva Checking Buffer Kit is ideal for use during routine oral examinations.
