Salivary biomarkers in diabetes mellitus diagnostics: A bibliometric analysis

Salivary analysis represents a promising noninvasive approach for the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of DM. Despite the study's focus on data from the WoSCC, the findings provide valuable insights into the current state and future potential of this field. Future research should prioritize the development of advanced portable sensor technologies for salivary glucose monitoring and CRP-based biosensors, which have the potential to predict the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus through inflammatory biomarkers. These innovations could significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy, patient convenience, and personalized therapeutic strategies in DM management.
