Fig. 4 habits, home care and even frequency of hygiene to help reduce the chance of getting periodontal disease that has the potential of being more aggressive compared to other patients. I use the MyPeri-oPath to help educate the patient to the level of periodontal pathogens in their mouth. I use the report to help with antibiotic therapy and can do the test at a follow up to see if the patient has effectively lowered their bacterial load. All new patients are given the CRA form developed by CariFree so that they can start some self-assess-ment as to their own individual risk of getting cavities in the future. If the patient elects to move forward, they are given the CariScreen test and after the exam, I review all the findings with the patient. They are then given options (including CariFree prod-ucts) as to how they want to handle their individual risk factors. In conclusion, there are new tools that dentist can use to help predict who might be at risk for dental disease, what bacteria are present in the biofilm and who might be genetically predisposed to more aggressive reactions to peri-odontal disease. It is very exciting that as clinicians we can be more progressive in actually preventing disease as opposed to the standard of treating dental disease. 30 Fall 2014 JAOS References 1.
