5. Disease risk assessment Caries risk predictor: Saliva flow The evidence suggests that a saliva flow rate outside healthy limits is inversed related to dental caries. Please note: Predictor only outside healthy limits effective Unstimmulated flow is more conclusive (Stimulated flow is less conclusive due to the confounding effect of salivary buffer action )
