Dentalyse™ Molecular Testing Service Dentalyse™ is a new UK based molecular testing service offering identification of bacterial pathogens together with genetic polymorphism analysis as a diagnostic aid for the detection and confirmation of periodontitis. Bacterial Identification The micro-IDent® test provides a detailed profile of the five most important periodontal pathogenic bacteria present and their relative quantities. The profile can be extended to a further 6 bacteria using the micro-IDent® plus test, permitting the dentist to make an informed choice of antibiotic strategy. During treatment, micro-IDent® offers a means of monitoring the bacterial load to assist in determining the effectiveness of the chosen therapy. Subsequent tests can indicate if bacteria have been eliminated, or if re-colonisation has occurred. Genetic predisposition analysis GenoType® PST® provides a genetic analysis of specific IL-1 polymorphisms which can affect the immune system increasing susceptibility to periodontal disease. Identification of patients carrying these polymorphisms permits the dentist to devise an appropriate treatment plan to restrict and prevent disease progression. This is extremely important particularly where conventional treatment has been unsuccessful. Simple, Rapid Test Service Specimen collection for both tests is perfomed quickly and painlessly at the dental surgery using the Free of Charge sampling kits provided by the Dentalyse™ service. Analysis is carried out in the Dentalyse™ laboratories in Merseyside, with results generated in the form of a comprehensive report, returned to the dentist within 5 days of receipt of the sample.
