What's the difference between saliva and sialogogue?
Saliva
Definition:
(n.) The secretion from the salivary glands.

(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.
Sialogogue
Definition:
(n.) An agent which promotes the flow of saliva.
Example Sentences:
(1) increased the sialogogue response of the glands to methacholine, a cholinomimetic drug.
(2) A larger body of literature deals with attempts using many different sialogogues to stimulate salivary function in a variety of conditions.
(3) Non-nutritive intense sweeteners may affect plaque pH by their sialogogue effects.
(4) In the rats on the liquid diet, it was found that the dose needed to evoke a just perceptible secretion of saliva was smaller, that the secretion started earlier and continued over a longer time period, and further that the amount of saliva secreted expressed per gland weight in response to submaximal doses of the sialogogue drug was bigger when compared with the rats on the pelleted bulk diet.
(5) The primary axiom is, "Treat the gland, not the stone," and the essential aspects of emergency medical management are antibiotics, sialogogues, warm compresses, mechanical stimulation, and appropriate referral to an otolaryngologist.
(6) After 2 weeks of Cd administration significant changes in the secretory response to these sialogogues were observed.
(7) Locally acting stimulants of salivary flow or saliva substitutes may alleviate symptoms but systemically acting sialogogues need to be used with caution.
(8) Effective salivary substitutes and sialogogues that have minimal side effects need to be developed.
