The most important part of any treatment is the initial diagnosis. Obviously, treatment can only be as accurate as the diagnostic information it is based on. The Oravital™ System is uniquely successful in treating oral infection because our innovative diagnostic protocol uses uniquely accurate methods.
Since oral infections like gum disease and halitosis are caused by microscopic bacteria, it is best to examine these causes using the services of a highly trained microbiologist. That is why Oravital™ treatment starts with microbiology samples of a patient's oral biofilm.
Three small samples of biofilm are taken from each patient and are placed on separate sections of a glass slide.
The slide is sent to the Oravital™ Microbiology Lab to be examined for bacteria, yeast and white blood cells.
A detailed report is prepared on the types and numbers of oral microbia found in the samples, and this information is sent to the dental office.
These reports form a component of a comprehensive diagnosis for each patient, enabling the clinician to select an appropriate treatment based on the presence of types of bacteria.
