Genetic testing & periodontitis
Swiss Perfect Smile Clinics offer the cutting age – preventive technology to determine a susceptibility of periodontitis – bacterial disease, which affects gums and bones. DNA testing should replace traditional methods as the gold standard in microbiological diagnosis of progressive periodontitis. Genetic testing for periodontal disease susceptibility hinges on measuring a gene which regulates the production of an inflammation mediator, which is called Interleukin 1B. Interleukin 1B is a strong stimulator of host cells, which destroy bone and soft tissue in an attempt to limit the infection. This destruction happens more as a result of the intensity of the response to a bacterial challenge than to the quantity of bacteria challenging the system. The intensity of the response is determined by the gene makeup dictating the quantity of interleukin 1B cells produce in response to a bacterial challenge.
Genetic testing for periodontitis will provide you with the unique opportunity to predict the future of your dental health and to take the contra-actions to avoid negative consequences.
Many times, the early stages of periodontal disease are best treated with non-surgical periodontal therapy. Even in severe cases of periodontal disease, non-surgical periodontal therapy often precedes surgical therapy. This is done to improve the overall tissue quality prior to surgery and also to help limit the areas requiring surgery. Treatment methods depend upon the type of disease and how far the condition has progressed.
A beautiful smile represents your health, confidence and happiness. The latest techniques of modern preventive dentistry make it possible to determine the periodontitis before it occurs and to recover a bright smile.
