Dental diagnostic tests - Showing the way in preventive oral care
Oral health care and prevention of oral disease are essential to health and well-being.
Orion Diagnostica’s dental diagnostic tests comprise a series of chair-side tests for evaluation of a patient’s oral health. All tests are performed on stimulated saliva. With the help of the test results, dental professionals can counsel the patient on oral hygiene and undertake early professional intervention and prevention of oral diseases.
Dentocult®SM Strip mutans
Monitors mutans streptococci levels in saliva and plaque
Mutans streptococci are today considered the primary bacterial cause of caries. Their presence or, even more so, their absence is a strong indicator of, respectively, high or low susceptibility to caries.
It is standard knowledge that these bacteria are transmissible. As their existence in the mouth requires the presence of teeth, mutans streptococci are often transferred by mothers to their 1 to 3 year-old children.
Once the teeth are colonized with mutans streptococci, there is always a risk of intraoral reinfection, even after successful antimicrobial treatment.
With Dentocult® SM Strip mutans, mutans streptococci are selectively enriched on two kinds of plastic strips that have been treated to simulate the tooth surface. Dentocult® SM Screening Strips are useful in identifying patients with mutans streptococci. The test kit's Site Strips provide more detailed information on the caries activity in progress in the patient's mouth or on a particular tooth surface. This knowledge helps the dentist design treatment strategies and individual preventive care for patients of all ages and in all situations.
Diagnostics of dental plaque and specific surfaces can be carried out in a general dental office only with the Dentocult® SM Site Strips. This makes the Dentocult® SM Strip method unique.
Sold in boxes of 10 tests.
