ABSTRACT:
To provide a simple examination method of buffer capacity of saliva without influence by examiner's subjectivity and an examination instrument to carry out suitably the examination method, an examination instrument, in which two to ten kinds of chemical liquids each containing a pH indicator having a transition interval within a pH range of 3.0 to 7.0 and capable of easily discriminating its indicated color at two or more stages and an acid in an amount so as to exhibit a different pH value within a pH range of 1.5 or more but lower than 3.0 when water in the same amount as that of saliva to be examined is added at a temperature of 25° C. and a humidity of 50% are each immersed in a water-absorptive material, or are in a liquid or gel state and are accommodated within a constant-volume container, is prepared; saliva of a subject in a volume to be examined is added to each of the chemical liquids; after lapsing a predetermined time, the color of each chemical liquid is measured as a readily discriminable indicated color; and the buffer capacity of saliva is determined by overall evaluation from the readily discriminable indicated color as exhibited by the chemical liquid.
