We offer two levels of testing to suit your needs:

1. Genetic Predisposition to Periodontitis
2. Oral Microbiome Analysis

With the Genetic Predisposition to Periodontitis test, you can discover your genetic predisposition to gum disease using simple buccal swabs. This test focuses on specific genetic markers associated with periodontitis. For an example of report click here:

The genetic test, that must be performed only once since the genomic DNA does NOT change during life, can give scenarios of results between 0 and 5 depending on the severity of the genetic susceptibility to periodontal disease.

The IL-RN marker is also considered, which expresses an indication of the activity of the antagonist receptors of interleukin, whose positivity is frequently associated with the loss of the implant.

The cost of this test is €99.

With the Oral Microbiome Analysis, you get an overview of the top 5 bacteria in your mouth that can affect your oral health using simple buccal swabs. For an example of report click here

The test determines the quantity and prevalence (with respect to the total microbial load) of the 5 most pathogenic bacterial species present in periodontal pockets and allows planning the most suitable treatment for the patient, also with regard to any antimicrobial support therapy:

• Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans
• Tannerella Forsythia
• Porphyromonas Gingivalis
• Prevotella Intermedia
• Treponema denticola

The cost of this test is €99.

Genetic predisposition tells you your likelihood of developing periodontitis based on inherited traits. Oral microbiome analysis tells you the current bacterial state of your mouth, which can influence or contribute to periodontitis.

For a comprehensive approach, combining both tests can offer deeper insights – one for long-term risk assessment and the other for real-time oral health monitoring.

If you decide to purchase the 2 tests together, the total price is €178 (instead of  €198).

Results for both tests are available within 5-7 working days of samples being received by the laboratory.
