Saliva analysis

Saliva analysis is part of a personalized diagnostic approach and provides information about factors involved in the natural protection and maintenance of balance within the oral environment.

At Laser Dental Clinic, when clinically indicated, salivary flow, pH, buffering capacity, and other biochemical parameters may be assessed according to the diagnostic method being used.

The obtained data may support individualized assessment of the risk of development and progression of dental caries, demineralization and erosive changes of the hard dental tissues, as well as the evaluation of dry mouth and other conditions associated with altered salivary function.

The results are interpreted together with the medical and dental history, dietary and oral hygiene habits, clinical and periodontal status, caries activity, and other diagnostic findings.

Saliva analysis supports the development of an individualized preventive and treatment strategy, including recommendations for oral hygiene, dietary habits, remineralization and fluoride prevention, and follow-up examinations according to the individual risk profile.

The test is not used as a stand-alone diagnostic method but as part of a comprehensive assessment and personalized prevention and treatment.
