| Abstract | ||
| Saliva represents an important biological material for diagnosis of oral problems. Salivary biomarkers like enzymes, proteins, or oxidative stress are used for early screening of oral diseases and evaluating of disease activity, and also measure the efficacy of therapy, therefore; it is used for determination of periodontal disease activity and prognosis. Salivary biomarkers are potentially important for determining the presence, risk, and progression of periodontal disease, therefore; it is not only reflecting the current status of periodontal diseases but may predict their progression and response to treatment. The prevalence of periodontitis is about 5–15% worldwide. There are some factors that may increase the incidence of periodontitis like smoking, obesity, diabetes, and heart diseases. Method of assessing and monitoring periodontal disease must be quick, easy and reliable and should provide important diagnostic information that improves and speeds treatment decisions. | ||
