PadoBiom®

  • Prevent periodontitis

  • Identify patients at risk

The new and patented method for evaluating the gingival sulcus.

Innovative 

NGS analysis

Novel 

evaluation

Practice-oriented

recommendation

PadoBiom® analyses and evaluates the periodontal microbiome and its equilibrium by means of next generation sequencing. In contrast to the examination of individual pathogenic bacteria, this method enables the comprehensive and early assessment of developing periodontitis.

The dysbiosis index, the identification of risk patients, the evaluation of key parameters and the examination of antibiotic resistance genes lead to outcome recommendations that optimise the treatment timing and treatment planning of every dental practice.

Dysbiosis index and risk of progression

Early detection prior to periodontitis and identification of risk patients

Assessment symbiosis / dysbiosis

 

The balance between health- and disease-related bacteria indicates symbiotic or dysbiotic conditions. Only on the basis of this assessment via the dysbiosis index of the oral microbiome a real assessment and the change before clinical symptoms is possible.

Identification of risk of progression

 

The detection of bacteria in the gingival pocket according to the clinical situation is expectable. Only the identification of deviating microbial loads makes specific therapy possible and identifies high-risk patients who really benefit from adjuvant.

Key parameters

Key parameters for additional evaluation

Evaluation of richness

 

The knowledge of the constituents of the subgingival flora allows conclusions to be drawn about the microbial biodiversity in the oral microbiome.

Evaluation of evenness

 

The knowledge of the distribution of individual bacteria in the oral microbiome allows an assessment of the balance of the different species.

Evaluation of pathogenicity

 

The identification of indicator bacteria with high pathogenic potential allows the classification of pathogenicity in oral microbiome.

Determination of Aa serotypes

 

The detection of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans a, b, c, d, e and JP2 clone in the subgingival flora are the basis for individual antibiotic therapy.

Antibiotic resistance genes

Bacterially induced therapy failure

Detection of resistance genes

 

Routinely analysis of existing antibiotic resistance genes in 5 dentally relevant antibiotic classes provides essential information for optimized antibiotic therapy.

Recommendation for results

In 3 practice-oriented categories

Checkup

Regular dental check-up without any need of treatment conclusion

Prophylaxis

Prophylaxis program with monitoring and regular screening

Therapy

Periodontal therapy with and without adjuvant (according to risk of progression).

The result recommendations are the essential component that really matters. With PadoBiom® it has been redesigned. Outcome recommendations take the form of classification into one of three practice-based categories, with procedures from the familiar dental treatment spectrum.

This makes it possible for the first time to decide at an early stage which patients belong from the check-up to prophylaxis or even from prophylaxis to therapy. This improves the success of the therapy and even prevents the need for therapy if the diagnosis is made at an early stage.

Advantages for treatment providers

 

Use PadoBiom® to diagnose periodontitis at an early stage and to identify high-risk patients with existing disease.
