Information for Patients
As you may be aware, the past 10 years have provided much insight into what has come to be called... "The Oral / Systemic Connection". There does appear to be a link to chronic inflammatory periodontal infections and systemic diseases such as:
The National Institute of Health (NIH) and other research
facilities are aggressively pursuing this link as well. For More information
regarding the Oral/Systemic Connection, visit the following links online:
As we continue to learn more about the severity of periodontal infections and how closely linked they are to your overall health, having detailed information about your genetic susceptibility (MyPerioID® PST®) and the bacteria that are present in our mouth (MyPerioPath®) will be critical in determining your oral and overall general health.
Introducing MyPerioPath®:
This test indentifies and measures certain bacteria in your mouth that cause gingivitis (early stage gum disease) and periodontal disease (mature gum disease).
Introducing MyPerioID® PST®:
This test determines if you are more likely to develop more serious gum tissue infections, such as inflammatory periodontal disease.
Introducing OraRisksm HPV:
This test determines if you are at increased risk for HPV-related oral and throat cancers.
These new, quick, and non-invasive tests deliver information
that will enable your dental professional to better determine the appropriate
treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
At OralDNA® Labs we strive
to develop clinically useful diagnostic tests based on DNA-PCR technology for
use by dental professionals. Our goal is to drive earlydetection
and more predictable treatment outcomes in the clinical setting.
