IAI PadoTest 4·5 – with microbial detection and therapy recommendations for lasting therapeutic success!
IAI PadoTest 4·5 is the microbiological test that detects the microorganisms responsible for periodontitis and recommends targeted treatment measures.
Bacterial detection with the IAI PadoTest 4·5 is essential for:
- selecting the correct treatment
- targeted medication without unnecessary antibiotic treatment
- quality control after treatment – proof of efficacy
- long-term monitoring of treated cases
- a differential diagnosis.
Periodontitis is a disease involving infection of the tissue surrounding and supporting the teeth (the periodontium) that is caused by specific bacteria. The nature of the combination of these bacteria characterises the severity of the periodontitis. The IAI PadoTest 4·5 determines the presence and combination of periodontal pathogens and classifies the periodontitis according to five statistically determined degrees of severity (Types 1 to 5).
This classification allows the therapist to organise appropriate treatment very easily and efficiently. The IAI PadoTest 4·5 provides information about therapy options and about any antibiotics that may be necessary.
The test detects the following periodontal pathogens:
• Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
• Bacteroides forsythus (Tannerella forsythensis)
• Porphyromonas gingivalis
• Treponema denticola
The IAI PadoTest 4·5 is extremely attractively priced and very versatile in its use because of the option of multi-site or single site tests.
The therapist detects the damage, and the IAI PadoTest 4·5 finds the cause and decides on the form of treatment!
