What's the difference between masticatory and saliva?
Masticatory
Definition:
(a.) Chewing; adapted to perform the office o/ chewing food.
(n.) A substance to be chewed to increase the saliva.
Example Sentences:

(10) One of the characteristics of human masseter muscle is type IM fibers, which are rarely seen in muscles other than the masticatory muscles.
(11) Insertion of bite planes on the right mandibular lateral teeth of eight young rabbits caused load changes in the masticatory system.
(12) However, when the frequency was above 135Hz, tongue muscle activity was not induced although activity was still observed in the masticatory muscles.

(16) Both patients presented significant and specific alterations of masticatory movement and electromyographic activity before treatment, and this enabled a differential diagnosis between the articular and muscular forms of CMD to be made.
(17) The modulation produced by cortical stimulation, whether inhibitory or excitatory, was not phasically related to the masticatory cycle.
(18) When the lateral teeth are aligned, masticatory stability should be considered.
(19) Masticatory performance and swallowing threshold performance improved with prosthodontic rehabilitation but this improvement was less than with comparable controls.
(20) This indicates that there is much more supraorbital bone than is necessary both to counter masticatory loads and to provide an adequate safety factor to failure for these loads.
Saliva
Definition:
(n.) The secretion from the salivary glands.
Example Sentences:
(1) A sensitive, selective and easy to use high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of cicletanide, a new diuretic, in plasma, red blood cells, urine and saliva is described.
(2) Most cis AB sera have anti-B activity, essentially at 4 degrees C. In saliva A and H substances are found in normal amounts but B substance is only evidenced by inhibition of autologous cells agglutination.
(3) The antigenic composition of an extract of rat dust, as a source of aeroallergens for rat-sensitive individuals, has been investigated and compared to the antigenic composition of rat saliva and urine.
(4) None of the parotid saliva samples from the alcoholic subjects had detectable bioactivity of EGF in saliva.
(5) On day 7, washes were collected as on day 0, and a collar was attached to the neck to prevent contamination from saliva.

(7) All teeth were incubated in a saliva-like solution except during treatment.
(8) During radiotherapy, the mean volume-based concentrations of all protein components assayed increased as the saliva flow rate decreased.
(9) There were no differences between groups in saliva cortisol values in either of the two experiments.
(10) In eight consecutive patients referred to the University of Queensland Dental School for investigation of tooth surface loss, six had no measurable quantities of resting whole saliva, four had low values for stimulated saliva flow rates, and only two patients had buffer capacities within the normal range.

(15) A relatively large error was found in predicting serum levels from saliva.
(16) We have reviewed the functions of salivary secretions and the major role that saliva plays in maintaining oral homeostasis by protection, repair, and lubrication as well as in the initial phase of digestion.
(17) The addition of chlorhexidine and saliva increased staining when used with tea.
(18) The potassium concentration of saliva collected in the absence of back pressure and at raised pressure was similar even though back pressure reduced flow.
(19) Its biological properties and its function in saliva, if any, remain to be elucidated.
(20) In order for a stone to form, the following conditions would seem to be necessary; transient supersaturation of the saliva in Ca++ and PO4--, a pH greater than normal, intracellular precepitation of amorphous tricalcium phosphate which is transformed into crystalline hydroxyapatite and, then, the fixation of crystals on a "matrix" such as desquamated cells, fibrils and collagens.
