SALIVA AS A BIOLOGICAL FLUID FORTHE DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS OFDISEASES

Abstract

The article briefly systematizes the information availablein the scientific literature on the prospects for using salivacomponents as biomarkers. It is noted that saliva, as a diag-nostic means, was developed as a tool of translational re-search method. Saliva, given the development of biomole-cules of clinical significance, has the potential to become afirst-line diagnostic tool. The “good method” of saliva diag-nostics should be functional, should have high sensitivityand specificity, low cost and effectiveness in terms of clini-cal use. Creating an accurate and effective test requires in-volvement of knowledge in various fields - chemistry, phys-ics, biology and engineering
