Empowering Sustained Patient Health
Clinical diagnostics are the foundation to diagnosing and treating periodontal disease.
1
Periodontal disease is caused by bacteria which infect and damage the soft tissue and bone supporting the tooth.
2
Symptoms may or may not be visible to the naked eye, periodontal probe, or x-rays. Testing allows for early detection and intervention.
3
The HR5 test identifies the presence and quantity of Aa, Pg, Td, Tf and Fn, which are the only bacteria scientifically proven to cause alveolar bone loss.
4
Treatment protocols can be tailored based on the patient's HR5 results.
5
Progress is monitored to achieve desired end point – this provides the best opportunity for the fastest positive outcome.
6
Continued monitoring through post-testing ensures sustained health.

The Path to Sustained Oral Health with Direct Diagnostics
Sustained oral health can be achieved through objective testing and personalized treatment plans.
By leveraging salivary diagnostics, you can tailor treatments to each patient's unique needs, and potentially reduce their risk of developing systemic inflammatory diseases. This proactive approach not only enhances oral health but also positively impacts overall well-being.
What Clinicians are Saying:
"Implementing salivary testing has not only exceeded our expectations as a practice but has also yielded remarkable clinical results, enabling our patients to lead healthier lives through the screening of specific periodontal bacteria in saliva samples."
Jeromy Mulkey
Ops Manager, Denver Dentistry
"Direct Diagnostics has made salivary testing so easy and affordable to implement in every dental and medical office. My patients are thrilled with the knowledge, information, and therapies that they are learning from their results! This is stuff that should be done on every patient!"
Janet Madrid, RDH
Dental Hygienist, Hope for Health
“Testing is going great. Our patients are really on board with testing and they love to see their results. It’s helping us explain periodontal disease to our patients in a way they understand. The coaching session with Julie was great too. I think we are finally getting a hang of it!”
Lindsay, RDH
