Abstract

Saliva is a complicated fluid made up of glandular discharges from the salivary canal. The tissues of the oral cavity are in constant contact with saliva. This biological fluid aids in lubrication and digestion. The environment of the oral cavity to a large degree is created and regulated by saliva. The aberrant function and secretion of saliva can readily be used to diagnose any ailment or disease's symptoms. Thus, it's critical to understand salivary gland secretion and function. This article's goal is to explore the elements, their roles, how they affect diagnosis, and the implications for prosthodontics.
