Abstract
Periodontitis is a common immune-inflammatory oral disease. Early detection plays an important role in its prevention and progression. Saliva is a reliable medium that mirrors periodontal health and is easily obtainable for identifying periodontal biomarkers in point-of-care diagnostics. Advanced molecular and immunological diagnostic techniques are diagnostic tests utilized to detect antigen-antibody interactions and quantify nucleic acids, proteins, or metabolites in clinical samples, facilitating the identification of risk factors, screening of asymptomatic patients, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, and informing the development of optimal therapeutic interventions. The molecular and immunological diagnostic methods that might be applied to the diagnosis and treatment of periodontitis are reviewed in this paper.
