Aim: To assess the efficacy and reliability of saliva in identification of ABO blood grouping.
Materials and Method: The study was conducted in the outpatient department of Oral Medicine and

serum was identified by the slide agglutination method and from saliva by the absoption elution method.
Results: Data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using Paerson’s chi square test and it showed
high significance (P = <0.001).
Conclusion: The outcome of the present study showed that saliva can be used as an aid in forensics for
identification of ABO blood grouping of an individual.
