Result and discussant this experiment shows that saliva consist of enzyrnes and minerals to hamper the caries happens, because this eruymes is bacteriostatic. The minerol in saliva is necessary to re-mineralizes the teeth emails. The high volume of saliva can clean the food rest which can make caries likes cariogenic foods. Secretion of saliva gives optimum protection in the prevention of caries, i/ is because the bacteria in the oral cavity do not hove chsnce to stick on the teeth. Saliva bufer regulate the degree of acidity (pH) in the oral cwity which is a necessary factor and hos function in prevention of caries. The ability of saliva to prevent the caries inJluenced by the composition, volume, secretion, and saliva bufer. The conclusion of this experiment are (1) Salivahosfunction to protect the teeth ond the other mouth mucosa. (2) The volume of saliva can make the oral cavity wet so the sticking -food" rest which can make caries can be prevented. (3) The high secretion of saliva has function os the mechonic cleaner to hamper the production of microorganism and can prevent caries. (4) Saliva bufer can neutralizes acid and alknlis so the pH in the oral cavity still constant, that situation can hamper caries. Then can be given some advices there are (l) Mastication of the food must uses both of the mondible so the function of the saliva can be maximal.
