One of the fundamental risk factors for the onset and persistence of the periodontitis process is the presence of aggressive so-called paro-pathogenic bacteria.
Different groups of paro-pathogenic bacteria are classified into subgroups or complexes based on common characteristics. Genetic tests allow for the diagnostics of individual pathogenic bacteria, exactly determining the presence of pathogens and ensuring targeted treatment of the periodontitis they cause.
The choice of the patient's individual therapy always depends on the clinical condition and the results of detecting bacteria of high pathogenicity, typically involving a combination of mechanical and antibiotic treatment.
The body's immune response within the attacked tissue is caused by various dysfunctions of the immune system. Stimulation of the immune response is primarily provided by pro-inflammatory factors leading to the production of specific antibodies and biological mediators, which the genetic predisposition analysis is able to detect. This helps in determining the body's predispositions in terms of the immune response to pathogenic bacteria and their toxins.
