Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Saliva is increasingly recognized as a powerful, non-invasive biofluid with significant potential for the early detection and monitoring of both oral and systemic diseases. This Special Issue aims to highlight the expanding role of saliva in precision diagnostics, focusing on its clinical utility across a spectrum of conditions, including dental caries, periodontal disease, oral cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and chronic kidney disease. We invite original research articles, reviews, and case studies that explore emerging salivary biomarkers, innovative biosensing technologies for real-time monitoring, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) for the analysis of complex salivary data. Given its ease of collection, low cost, and patient-friendly nature, saliva represents a transformative medium for accessible and routine health monitoring. This Special Issue seeks to showcase interdisciplinary advances that position saliva-based diagnostics at the forefront of personalized and preventive medicine, with the ultimate goal of enhancing early detection, improving patient outcomes, and contributing to the future of smart, data-driven healthcare.
