Make Confident Treatment Decisions Through Clinical Evidence
Accurate Diagnosis Leads to Effective Care
Periodontal diseases, which include gingivitis, periodontitis, peri-implant mucositis, and peri-implantitis, are chronic inflammatory diseases caused by pathogenic imbalances in the oral microbiome, a condition known as dysbiosis.
Visual examination cannot detect the causative agents at any point in the disease process. Clinical signs of disease appear long after the disease process has begun. Testing for the specific causative agents enables early intervention, tailored treatment, and quantitative goals for success.
Clarity
Testing is crucial for risk assessment and diagnosis as it offers an unbiased, objective perspective. Detecting causative agents of the disease brings clarity for both patients and clinicians regarding disease risk or cause, as well as the necessity for intervention or treatment.
Confidence
Analyzing saliva for the HR5 species enhances your understanding of how to treat and manage patients effectively. Personalizing treatment protocols based on causation (HR5 test results), instills confidence in diagnosis and treatment decisions.
Effective Case Management
Continued objective monitoring of the HR5 species is vital for achieving and maintaining treatment endpoint. Salivary testing with HR5 equips clinicians with better predictive abilities, potentially preventing disease progression or recurrence.
Healthier Patients.
Happier Clinicians.
Work Smarter, Not Harder
Instead of applying the same approach to every patient, it's essential to work smarter, not harder. Through the use of the Direct Diagnostics model, you can truly understand what you are dealing with. When you send people home, they are empowered to take actions that align with their specific needs and goals, making your efforts more efficient and effective.
If you don't know what's causing the issues you are seeing, Direct Diagnostics is here to provide the objective evidence you need for a more personalized and efficient approach to care.
What Your Fellow Clinicians are Saying:
"The HR5 test has changed the way I practice. I am now able to identify how to get my patient healthier and recommend products without guessing. I've always loved dental hygiene, but now I feel like I am finding the root cause of periodontal disease and eliminating it! Join the revolution and the new gold standard for hygiene!"

"I am probably one of the happiest periodontists because now I can fully utilize the treatment aspects available for periodontal disease, not to mention how this inflammation in the mouth is attached to the rest of the body."
Dr. Page Barden
Periodontist, Inspiring Smiles
"I am so blown away by all the information. I could not stop thinking about everything – the how, the why, the root cause... I am so ready to learn more. You cannot ignore all that is out there. I cannot just keep doing the same thing now I know. It is time for me to get uncomfortable and dive deeper."
Michelle Mahlke, RDH
