A PreViser
Risk Assessment combines specific pieces of information from an individual's
medical history and clinical observation, running this data through
a patented process to produce a targeted prediction of future risk for
disease.
Each of
the three tools produces a different set of Risk Scores which
appear on the reports. The Periodontal Risk Assessment produces scores
for Periodontal disease risk and severity, and the Caries Risk Assessment
produces risk scores related to Caries, Tooth Fracture, and Root Surface
damage, and the Oral Cancer Risk Assessment produces a risk score related
to oral cancer.
Please
refer to the Risk
Score documentation in the PreViser Overview chapter and
the Appendix for information about the specific conditions the Risk
Scores reflect.
PreViser™
is a Windows-based application that allows remote users to enter specific
patient information gathered during a standard exam and receive an assessment
of future dental health, using PreViser's proprietary algorithms.
Clinical
data and medical history is entered into a computer at your dental office,
then transmitted over the Internet to a central application server for
processing. The results of the calculations are used to generate a report
on optional treatment strategies that can lower patient risk. Reports
can be viewed on your computer or printed for your patients and files.
