Contributions of salivary tests in dental practice

Over the past two decades, less invasive salivary diagnostic tests have grown dramatically to replace painful and expensive blood sampling. The role of saliva in this growth trend has been enormous, due in part to a growing awareness of the great utility of saliva as a diagnostic tool within clinical settings and more specifically dental offices, as well as the increasing number of publications supporting new and varied applications of saliva.

With this objective in mind, we have conducted a scientific paper on rapid, multiplex and miniaturized analytical tests based on saliva in dental practice and their major contributions to determine non-invasively which pathology, which prognosis and which will be the judicious therapeutic strategy for the management of patients
