Dental caries curses predominant phase of the world’s population; rectified as a large multifactorial disease. As
saliva is frequently flowing fluid alongside the enamel and different oral structures; which performs a major function
in creating and development of dental caries. Some organic and inorganic elements may additionally guard tooth
from the occurrence of dental caries. This happens with the aid of a number of functions, such as clearance of meals
particles and sugar, aggregation and elimination of microorganisms, buffering moves to neutralize acid, maintaining
concentration with appreciate to teeth mineral, participation in formation of the received pellicle and antimicrobial
defense. Unassuming attestation is handy on the associations between dental caries and various salivary parameters,
along with waft rate, buffering potential and abundance of mutans streptococci. Despite some controversial findings,
the foremost physique of the literature supports a multiplied caries occurrence and/or incidence among people with a
pathologically low saliva glide rate, compromised buffering ability and early colonization or excessive titer of mutans
streptococci in saliva. Saliva has the workable to be used in the early detection and analysis of caries. This is due to
the abundant biomarkers existing in saliva.
