The determination of the salivary flow rate is a simple procedure to record the amount of saliva produced during the chewing process and to link this to a statement about the individual caries risk, which is significantly increased by a reduced salivary secretion rate. Saliva that flows not only sufficiently but as abundantly as possible … Determination of the Salivary Flow Rate
The determination of the lactate formation potential is possible in the form of a biochemical rapid test that provides information about the metabolic activity of caries-causing bacteria in the oral environment and thus about the caries risk of a patient. The development of caries is a multicausal process in which many factors are involved. And … Determination of the Lactate Formation Potential
Brush biopsy (synonym: brush cytology) is a simple procedure for sampling cells from conspicuously altered areas of the oral mucosa and is used for early detection and control of oral risk lesions. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (squamous cell cancer of the oral cavity) is a common cancer, with an incidence (frequency of new cases) of … Brush Biopsy: Brush Biopsy in Oral Risk Lesions
Periodontitis is an inflammation of the periodontium. That is, it does not affect the teeth per se. Colloquially, periodontitis is also referred to as periodontal disease. However, this refers to a different form of the disease. In the course of periodontitis, the gums are usually initially inflamed. It therefore bleeds quickly and is often painful. … DNA Probe Test: Periodontitis Risk
The interleukin-1 gene test (IL-1 gene test; interleukin test 1) is a method for determining an individual’s genetic periodontitis risk. The IL-1 gene polymorphism is considered a proinflammatory (inflammation-promoting) risk factor. Patients whose genome shows a positive IL-1 genotype are more susceptible to the development of periodontitis (inflammation of the periodontium) and show stronger inflammatory … Interleukin-1 Gene Test
Laboratory diagnostic tests are performed in the dental field in cases of suspicion and provide information about the current state of oral health. Early cancer detection Conspicuously altered areas of the oral mucosa can be sampled using a simple brush biopsy (form of abrasion cytology dar; cells are obtained from all mucosal layers down to … Lab Tests
The saliva test for Candida albicans is used to confirm the clinical diagnosis of candidiasis (synonyms: thrush, thrush mycosis, moniliasis, candidosis, candidamycosis, candidasis, candidosis) of the oral mucosa. In about 70 % of all healthy patients, and in denture wearers almost regularly, fungi can also be detected in the microbial oral flora, especially the most … Saliva Test for Candida Albicans
Evidence of excessive salivary contamination with lactobacilli is considered an indication of increased caries risk, as these are among the most important germs driving caries along with Streptococcus mutans. In addition to the most important caries-causing germ Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), a number of other plaque bacteria (bacteria in dental plaque) are involved in the … Saliva Test for Lactobacilli
Detection of excessive salivary contamination with Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans, mutans streptococci), the most important caries germ, is considered an indication of a patient’s increased caries risk because salivary contamination correlates with the presence of S. mutans in plaque (dental plaque). There are several diagnostic parameters that can help determine a patient’s individual risk of … Saliva Test for Streptococcus Mutans
