What kinds of saliva test requires fasting for 8 hours prior?

None that I know of: Perhaps it is a test for illegal drugs, but I have not heard of a saliva test that requires fasting.

None that I know: Most salivary tests in dentistry are to measure saliva production or to look at bacterial measurements for periodontal disease.
