A survey of Australian consumers' and dentists’ perceptions of saliva as a biofluid for periodontitis diagnosis
This study highlights significant consumer interest in saliva diagnostics for periodontitis, indicating a preference for a shift toward personalised, non-invasive diagnostic methods. The mixed responses from clinicians highlight the need for ongoing education and evidence to foster confidence in saliva-based testing, potentially improving early detection and treatment outcomes in periodontal care.
