Knowing the genetics of periodontitis allows the dentist to establish an appropriate treatment and an optimal frequency of check-ups, thereby preventing the onset of this disorder.
Four genetic mutations are analysed, providing a result that classifies the patient’s risk for both aggressive and chronic periodontitis.
Chronic periodontitis
_IL1 alpha
_IL1 Beta
Acute periodontitis
_GLT6D1
_CDKN2B
Depending on the results obtained, we recommend the most suitable frequency of inspections and cleaning in each case.
