PreViser and Academic Institutions
There is strong evidence that caries and periodontal disease can be prevented in individual patients. However, to achieve this, it is necessary to be able to identify patients at increased risk of disease and to provide them with preventative interventions which focus upon:
- Risk factor identification and correction (both systemic and local risk factors)
- Educating patients about why they are susceptible to the disease
- Educating patients about what their role is in managing their risk factors and their disease
- Providing a personalized biofeedback to help motivate them to take an active role in their own care
- Providing a consistent and objective means of describing disease and treatment planning for that disease
PreViser technology offers an
easy-to-use and clinically validated
method for identifying periodontal disease risk and
describing a periodontal disease state, as well as a practical
method for characterizing risk of caries, tooth fracture, root
surface damage, and oral cancer.
If you can't measure it, you can't
manage it, and PreViser adds to the dentist's and
therapist's / hygienist's armamentarium: an essential tool for the management
of the most prevalent oral diseases.
The objective and
reproducible risk and disease scores PreViser provides are
being used by researchers to measure clinical conditions. Teaching institutions use PreViser as a platform to show students
how to quantifiably measure risk and disease and employ
disease management concepts in the real world of clinical
dentistry, as well as providing personalized biofeedback to educate and motivate patients to take greater responsibility for their own oral health.
Oral Health Innovations Ltd offers free usage of PreViser
technology to dental schools in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Contact us for details.
Understanding Risk
PreViser risk scores add the ‘third dimension’ to an
understanding of patient needs, by differentiating between
patients with the same current health/disease state, but who
have varying probabilities of this state deteriorating.
