Nature has bestowed saliva "The natural source" with many functional capabilities which plays an important role in maintaining the well being of mouth. Saliva plays a major role in protection of oral tissues, food preparation, digestion, lubrication and speech. The protective function is served by its ubiquitous basal secretion. The food related functions are served by the process of mastication and deglutition.1But one function not bestowed by nature is the use of saliva for diagnostic purposes, it is the human who has to explore this precious wonder fluid marvelously studded with clues about the human body in health and disease.
