Salivary glycoproteins as indicators of oral diseases

Salivary markers of oxidative stress in oral diseases

Saliva is an interesting alternative diagnostic body fluid with several specific advantages over blood. These include non-invasive and easy collection and related possibility to do repeated sampling. One of the obstacles that hinders the wider use of saliva for diagnosis and monitoring of systemic diseases is its composition, which is affected by local oral status. However, this issue makes sal...

Is Salivary Alpha Amylase Useful as a Biomarker of Stress in Oral Diseases?

Although Salivary Alpha Amylase (SAA) has been investigated during past thirty years as a biomarker of stress, still remains certain doubt regarding its utility. Additionally, there has been a lot of debate whether SAA reflects sympathetic activity solely, however, recent data suggested that this is unlikely due to the parasympathetic activity which innervates salivary glands whose product is S...
