Abstract
Periodontal diseases are considered some of the most prevalent diseases in the adult population, affecting as much as 80 percent of people. Diagnosis can be performed by measuring pocket depth and bleeding upon probing. These diseases can be easily addressed in their early stages, but many choose to ignore the signs and symptoms. Saliva has recently emerged as a potential tool to aid in the diagnosis of periodontal diseases and the prediction of treatment outcomes.Entities:
