Nimesulide is a preferential cyclooxygenase II inhibiting non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent. In India, nimesulide tablets are routinely prescribed for inflammation, pain and fever because they have a longer duration of action. It is used in conditions like sports injuries, sinusitis, ENT disorders, dental surgery, bursitis, low backache, postoperative pain and osteoarthritis. It has a multifactorial mode of action and is characterized by a fast onset of action, but due to its toxicity this drug is banned in the country.

Conventional means of supporting anchorage have been using either intra-oral sites or relying on extraoral means. Both of these have their limitations – The extra-oral forces cannot be used on a 24x7 basis to resist the continuous tooth moving forces and are also taxing on the patient's compliance. On the other hand strict reliance on intra-oral areas - usually dental units does not offer any significant advantages, except the fact that the patient's co-operation is less critical. Due to these constraints therefore, at times, either the treatment options start getting limited or the end result compromised.

Saliva is a complex fluid produced by the major and minor salivary glands and is a mixture of several constituents of non-salivary origin. Saliva as an aid in diagnosis is by no means limited to dental caries, periodontal diseases, HIV seropositivity or cancer. Tests using saliva have made substantial inroads into an array of clinical and research areas such as virology, immunology, microbiology, endocrinology, toxicology, psychiatry and forensics. A pool of research articles is available on the potential use of saliva as a dignostic tool in medical sciences. A comprehensive computer-based search using key words(in cochrane and pubmed databases) and hand searches were done for several journals were checked for relevant material related to the study. All articles were considered individually to eliminate non-peer- reviewed articles, those dealing with commercial laser technology, and those considered by the author to be purely opinion articles. This review article aims at summarizing the variable use of saliva as a diagnostic aid on a daily basis when treating patients
