Abstract
Assaying different biological markers (biomarkers) is commonly used to monitor health status and aid in the diagnosis of diseases. With the recent advances in highly sensitive protein assays, whole saliva (WS) and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) appear to be fluids that may contain important biomarkers with various applications in dentistry and medicine. Herein, we describe the process of GCF and WS sample collection and preparation for assaying clinically relevant biomarkers in clinical screening trials. Analysis of biomarkers in WS and GCF represents an easy and practical approach for the diagnosis and screening of different pathological conditions particularly in epidemiological surveys.
