Abstract
Second most common oral disease next to dental caries is periodontal disease. It is considered
to be inflammatory disorder that damages tissue through the complex interaction between periopathogens
and the host defense systems. Researchers involved in periodontal disease diagnostics
are currently investigating the possible use of oral fluids, such as saliva, for disease assessment.
Secretions from the major salivary glands, which have a large number of proteins and
peptides, are responsible for maintaining the integrity of the oral cavity. Also, because of its
importance in oral biofilm formation and host defense, secreted saliva with its biomarkers may
have a significant role in the establishment and progression of periodontal disease.
