Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
This review highlights the diagnostic application of saliva in health and disease. As a diagnostic fluid saliva offers distinctive advantages over serum as it can be collected non – invasively by individuals with modest training. Whole saliva is frequently used for diagnosis of systemic disease; as it is readily collected and contains serum constituent. Human saliva is not just the fluid in our mouth, but it mirrors our body’s health and well being. Saliva has protective properties and contains a variety of antimicrobial constituents and growth factors. It is becoming increasingly apparent to investigators and clinicians in a variety of disciplines that saliva has many diagnostic uses and is especially valuable in the young, the old and infirm.
