Role of Salivary Biomarkers in Systemic Diseases-A Systemic Review
Abstract
Salivary diagnosis is an increasingly important field in dentistry, physiology, internal medicine, endocrinology, pediatrics, immunology, clinical pathology, forensic medicine, psychology, and sports medicine. A growing number of drugs, hormones, and antibodies can be reliably monitored in saliva, which is an easily obtainable, non-invasive diagnostic medium It has become apparent that many systemic diseases affect salivary gland function and salivary composition. Studies of the effects of systemic diseases on salivary variables have been valuable in understanding the pathogenesis of the diseases, but their use as diagnostic markers has been limited. This article aims to review the point in the literature role of salivary biomarkers in systemic diseases.
