สรุป	Salivary biomarker analysis detects protein, molecular, or microbial markers in saliva that indicate oral and systemic disease. Salivary diagnostics assess risk and activity of dental caries, periodontal disease, oral cancer, and other conditions. Biomarkers include antimicrobial proteins (lysozyme, lactoferrin), inflammatory mediators (interleukins, TNF-alpha), cariogenic bacteria (Streptococcus mutans), and virulence factors. Point-of-care saliva testing offers rapid, non-invasive alternatives to conventional laboratory methods, enabling chairside diagnosis and personalized risk assessment.	Periodontal probing is a clinical assessment technique that measures the depth of gingival crevices and periodontal pockets to diagnose periodontal disease. Introduced by the American Academy of Periodontology in the mid-20th century, it remains the gold standard for assessing periodontal health status. The procedure evaluates the clinical attachment level and recession depth to identify inflammation, attachment loss, and disease progression.
