Abstract

The current clinical diagnostic criterias which were introduced almost half a century ago continue to function as the basis of oral diagnosis in today's clinical practice. Evolvement with time is now brought us to the era of biomarkers. It's a new paradigm for periodontal diagnosis which is of immense benefit in managing periodontitis patients. Biomarkers are tell – tale molecules that can be used to monitor health status, disease onset, treatment response and outcome.

These biomarkers can be obtained from blood components such as: serum or plasma. However because of it's being an invasive procedure other body fluids such as saliva and GCF are being considered for potential source of biomarkers. The simple and non-invasive nature of saliva collection and its high sensitivity assay development has led to the salivary biomarkers being a promising future for periodontal diagnosis.
