WHO: "Virtually all countries must build up a monitoring system to control the spread of periodontitis and promote oral health." From: Strengthening the prevention of periodontal disease: The WHO approach

Prof. Dr. Thomas Hoffmann: "Periodontitis and peri-implantitis must […] become avoidable diseases. Early diagnostics and prophylaxis do play a decisive role here. In diagnostics, aMMP-8 could become a key technology in the process in the near future."

The WHO is focusing activities in the 21st century on oral health and the struggle against periodontitis. The weapon for this battle could be the aMMP-8 diagnostics.

Periodontitis significantly increases the risk for diabetes, cardio vascular illnesses, rheumatism and premature births. An early diagnosis can help to stop the process.

Inflammations can be measured

Dentognostics’ rapid and laboratory tests identify the inflammation marker aMMP-8 in the oral cavity: hidden inflammatory processes can be discovered and either prophylactically or therapeutically treated, even before clinical symptoms begin to appear.

An early and simple diagnosis of inflammatory processes is an important building block for the prevention and treatment of serious diseases. Increased aMMP-8 values suggest active inflammatory processes in the periodontium, such as gingivitis or periodontitis. If these inflammations remain untreated, they can result in the loss of teeth. Furthermore, they are considered a gateway for oral bacteria into the circulatory system, which entails a greater risk of chronic, subclinical bacteremia.

According to the international literature, periodontal inflammations can represent a significant risk factor for:

- Heart attacks
- Apoplectic Stroke
- Diabetes mellitus
- Premature births and low birth weight
- Rheumatic illnesses
- Bacterial infections of endoprostheses

In Germany alone, there are approximately 35 million untreated cases of periodontitis. Ten million of these are considered serious cases.
 

The PerioMarker®

rapid test reveals hidden inflammations. It can identify the risk even before any clinical signs become visible, such as irreversible destruction of periodontal tissue and jawbones or loosening of teeth.

aMMP8 degrades tissue

An aMMP-8 rapid test is especially effective in indicating previously concealed periodontal inflammations in at-risk groups. And early detection means that preventive measures can be taken before symptoms set in.
