Erosion protection conferred by whole human saliva, dialysed saliva, and artificial saliva [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractDuring dental erosion, tooth minerals are dissolved, leading to a softening of the surface and consequently to irreversible surface loss. Components from human saliva form a pellicle on the tooth surface, providing some protection against erosion.

Stimulated and unstimulated saliva samples have significantly different bacterial profiles [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Epidemiological studies use saliva on a regular basis as a non-invasive and easy-to-take sample, which is assumed to be a microbial representative of the oral cavity ecosystem.

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 2022 Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death, and early detection of this disease is crucial for increasing survival rates. Although cancer can be diagnosed following tissue biopsy, the biopsy procedure is invasive; liquid biopsy provides an alternative that is more comfortable for the patient.

Salivary exosomes as biomarkers for early diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma
Oral Oncology Reports, 2023 Introduction: Due to late diagnosis, prognosis is poor for patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Saliva is in close proximity to tumours originating from the oral cavity and by profiling exosomes derived from saliva can be used as biomarkers

Promising applications of human-derived saliva biomarker testing in clinical diagnostics
International Journal of Oral Science, 2023 Saliva testing is a vital method for clinical applications, for its noninvasive features, richness in substances, and the huge amount. Due to its direct anatomical connection with oral, digestive, and endocrine systems, clinical usage of saliva testing ...

The salivary metatranscriptome as an accurate diagnostic indicator of oral cancer
npj Genomic Medicine, 2021 Despite advances in cancer treatment, the 5-year mortality rate for oral cancers (OC) is 40%, mainly due to the lack of early diagnostics. To advance early diagnostics for high-risk and average-risk populations, we developed and evaluated machine ...

DNA Methylation Changes in Human Papillomavirus-Driven Head and Neck Cancers
Cells, 2020 Disruption of DNA methylation patterns is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Similar to other cancer types, human papillomavirus (HPV)-driven head and neck cancer (HNC) also reveals alterations in its methylation profile.
