人体的脏器、组织与结构真是奇妙，哪怕是最不起眼的唾液也承担着重要的保护和防御功能，唾液的潜在利用价值还在被不断发掘。前沿研究表明，通过咀嚼来刺激唾液分泌，有助中和口腔酸性、清除食物残渣、促进牙齿再矿化等口腔保健作用；并且唾液也是人体健康指标之一，通过唾液可诊断口腔乃至全身疾病，对预防、诊断疾病产生积极影响。

Human organs/Organization and structure is really wonderful,Even if is the most ordinary saliva also undertakes the important protective and defensive function,Saliva potential value in use is constantly explore.Frontier research shows that,Through the chewing to stimulate saliva secretion,Help and oral acid/Remove food residue/Promote the teeth and mineralization of oral health care function;And saliva is one of human health index,Through the saliva may diagnose oral and even the whole body disease,To prevent/Diagnosis of diseases have a positive impact.

- 咀嚼刺激唾液分泌可护齿 - chewing stimulate saliva secretion can protect tooth

　　来自箭牌科研中心的实验显示，在健康的情况下，口腔内酸碱值处于平衡状态，但在进食后口腔内酸碱平衡被打破，会导致过多菌斑生物膜形成，从而引起口腔内菌斑生态变化，最终导致龋齿、牙周病或其他口腔病。

From wrigley research center experiments showed,In health,In oral cavity ph value in a state of equilibrium,But in the mouth after eating acid-base balance is broken,Can lead to excessive dental plaque biofilm formation,Thus cause in oral cavity dental plaque ecological change,Eventually lead to tooth decay/Periodontal disease or other oral disease.

　　通过咀嚼可增加唾液流动、辅助口腔清除碳水化合物和其他物质、提高菌斑pH值，有助于牙齿再矿化，并最终帮助降低龋齿发病率。

Through the chewing can increase saliva flow/Auxiliary oral clear carbohydrates and other substances/Improve the dental plaque pH value,Help teeth to mineralization,And finally help reduce the incidence of dental caries.

- 唾液诊断或在未来取代血液诊断 - saliva diagnosis or in the future to replace blood diagnosis

　　近几年，在美国国家牙颅面研究所(NIDCR)计划激励下，唾液作为快速即时检测的诊断培养基已受到广泛重视。通过科学证实的唾液健康指标，将对全身疾病检查在临床上产生影响，目前美国政府已经批准了唾液快速检测艾滋病病毒的方法，韩国科学家则通过PCR技术检测唾液中的乙肝病毒，英国科学家也在研究将唾液检查用于肺癌的早期诊断。多项研究显示，临床医生所面对的众多病症，其不同发病阶段都在口腔里有所体现。

In recent years,In the United States national tooth craniofacial research institute(NIDCR)Plan excitation,Saliva as rapid real-time detection diagnosis medium has been extensive attention.Through the science has proved saliva health index,To the whole body disease inspection in the clinical effect,At present the United States government has approved the saliva rapid detection method of the virus that causes AIDS,The south Korean scientists is through the PCR technology test of hepatitis b virus in the saliva,British scientists also in research will saliva tests are used for the early diagnosis of lung cancer.A number of studies that show,Clinical doctors face many diseases,The different disease stages in oral embodied in.

　- 唾液有助于创伤愈合 - saliva helps to wound healing

　　临床观察和实验研究显示，较之身体其他部分(例如皮肤)，口腔创伤愈合更快、更少留下疤痕。该现象中隐含的因素之一是唾液的存在——以多种方式促进口腔创伤愈合。唾液创建了潮湿的环境，可以改善炎细胞生存和机能，这对创伤愈合至关重要。另外，唾液含多种蛋白质，在口腔内创伤愈合的不同阶段均起作用。(章苒)

Clinical observation and experimental study shows,Compared with the rest of the body(For example the skin),Oral wound healing faster/Less scars.This phenomenon in the underlying factors is one of the existence of saliva - in many ways to promote oral wound healing.Saliva to create a moist environment,Can improve inflammatory cells survival and function,It is very important for wound healing.In addition,Saliva contains a variety of protein,In oral wound healing in different stages of all play a role.(Girls' chapter)
