Background: Nowadays, the search for biomarkers has attracted attention in medical and psychological sciences. The biomarkers are crucial to prevent diseases, to detect pathologies and to induce quality of life in patients. Recent studies evaluate stress biomarkers and provide information about physiological and psychological organism reactions to stressors. These biomarkers can be assessed via motoring corporal fluids (serum, plasma, urine and salivary fluid) and the proteins most used within stress salivary biomarkers are cortisol, -amylase, proinflammatory cytokines, and catecholamines. The aim of this paper is to review systematically the scientific literature about the evaluation of salivary biomarkers in psychological stress diagnostic.
