Abstract EN
Physiological whole saliva is a unique body fluid constantly washing the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, and larynx.
Saliva is a clear, slightly acidic mucinous-serous secretion, composed of various electrolytes, small organic substances, proteins, peptides, and polynucleotides.
There are many ways to use saliva as a biological fluid (biofluid).
The significant advantages of saliva as a unique diagnostic material are its availability and the noninvasive method of collection.
The aim of this review is to emphasize the diagnostic value of saliva as a research material in the configuration of its structure and secretion disorders.
The data were obtained using the MEDLINE (PubMed) search engine, as well as an additional manual search.
The analysis covered 77 articles selected from a group of 1986 publications and initially qualified for devising.
The results were evaluated and checked for the correctness of qualifying in accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria.
The diagnostic use of saliva has attracted the attention of many researchers due to its noninvasive nature and relative simplicity of collection.
In addition, it should be noted that the determination of chemical and physical saliva parameters can be effectively performed in the patient’s presence in the dental office.
