1. ORAL DNATESTING AND ORAL HPVTESTING FOR PERIODONTAL DISEASE
1/30/2016 0 Comments
It can be shocking to know that today advances in dental technology can now identify the specific bacteria and catalysts that are the most
common with periodontal and gum infections that couldn’t be identified in the past years.Part of this shock is learning that around a third of
any population of adults over age 30 can be suffering some form of periodontal disease. It can even be more shocking that now doctors and
dentists know the correlation between chronic gum infections and threatening diseases like heart diseases, diabetes, stroke, and even some
types of cancer.
Of course we all know that mouth infections and bacteria will basically cause bad breath and loss of teeth. But they can also contribute to
any ongoing chronic health issues. Thus, dental technology and dental professionals have come up with a better way to diagnose
periodontal infections in order to find the best treatment or procedure to treat the mouth disease in the form of Oral DNA Testingand Oral
HPV Testing.
How itworks
While there can be around a dozen types of bacteria in the human mouth at any given time, around 13 strains are actually targeted as being
the most common pathogenic bacteria that can cause gum disease. Periodontal pathogens are very opportunistic and can strike very fast
when a person’s overall health is at a low.
In years past periodontal diseases where treated by identifying the symptoms and clinical signs,and this process can sometimes take several
months before a real problem can be perceived. Today,Oral DNA Testingand Oral HPV Testinguse molecular biology technology as a solid
method to identify the specific bacteria and disease in order to give dental professionals the tools to diagnose and prescribe the most
accurate treatment before the disease and symptoms become widespread.
The testing is completely painless and simply involves swishing some liquid in the mouth and spitting this into a cup wherein the sample is
then put into a vial that is sent to the testing laboratory where it is analyzed. The results are returned in a week and will detail the specific
oral bacteria that are present.
To be exact,Oral DNA Testingattempts to detect:
The specificbacterial DNA that can cause periodontal inflammation and destruction.
The 11 to 13 bacteria species that can fall into this group.
The sub-divisions of these bacteria that are in “risk” groups based on known risk or virulence properties.
Concentrations of the bacteria load.
For Oral HPV (Human PapillomaVirus) Testing:
HPV(Human Papilloma Virus)is a grave risk factor oropharyngeal carcinoma of the mouth and throat.
It can cause cancer of the mouth.
Detects HPVinfections and genotypes HPV.
