Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase is a hydrolase intracellular enzyme participating in the metabolic processes of cells. Rise in salivary ALP levels reflects inflammation and destruction of healthy tissues suggesting it as a biomarker. This review article has been done to analyse the role of Salivary Alkaline phosphatase in detecting the oral disease. Monitoring the level of the alkaline phosphatase in saliva can help in regulating the oral health of patients.
