Overview

Saliva, a vital biological fluid produced by salivary glands, plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health. It is a complex mixture of water, electrolytes, enzymes, mucus, and antimicrobial agents, which together aid in digestion, lubrication, and protection of oral tissues. Beyond these functions, saliva serves as an important diagnostic tool in modern dentistry, particularly due to its non-invasive nature and ease of collection. Salivary biomarkers-specific molecules found in saliva-are increasingly being researched and utilized for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in various dental conditions.Despite the promising potential of salivary biomarkers, challenges remain. One of the key hurdles is the standardization of collection and analysis methods, as saliva composition can vary based on diet, medication, or individual biological factors.With ongoing research and technological advancements, salivary biomarkers may become an essential part of modern dental practice, enhancing the ability to diagnose, prevent, and manage oral and systemic health conditions effectively.
