Due to the rapid advancements in detection technologies, saliva has the potential to become a first-line diagnostic sample of choice in the fields of medicine and dentistry. Saliva has many useful advantages to serum. Simple, non-invasive and cost-effective approaches can be made possible for the screening of large populations. There is minimal risk of infections during sample collection and saliva can be used in clinically challenging situations, such as obtaining samples from children, or disabled or anxious patients.
