title: [Salivary tests for caries and erosion risk factors].
abstract: Apart from a health questionnaire and oral health examination with a clinical history, it is also important to inquire after oral and salivary complaints. Supplementary it is useful to assess dietary habits in patients at risk and to perform a number of simple salivary tests. Interpretation of all data obtained through these investigations, will enable the identification of a number of caries and erosion risk factors. On the basis of these risk factors a preventive treatment plan can be made for the patient. These data provide the possibility to evaluate the success of the preventive treatment plan after a few years and to make adjustments, if necessary.
