Question: 1 / 400

The use of dry angles during moisture control activities helps control saliva flow from?

Stenson's duct

Dry angles are cotton pads used during dental procedures to absorb saliva and keep the mouth dry. They are placed near Stenson's duct, which is the main duct that carries saliva from the parotid gland. This is because the parotid gland produces the majority of the saliva in our mouth, and using dry angles can help control saliva flow from it. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they refer to other salivary glands, which may also contribute to saliva production, but are not specifically targeted by the use of dry angles.
