Detail Description

Peridontal Multiplex Detection & Differentiation (RNA Detection) Qualitative Test

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss. The disease is caused by bacteria that grow in the dental plaque. There are several types of bacteria that are associated with periodontal disease, including Porphyromonas gulae, Treponema denticola, Tannerella forsythia, and Fusobacterium nucleatum.

The Peridontal Multiplex Detection & Differentiation (RNA Detection) Qualitative Test is a diagnostic test that can detect and differentiate these bacteria in samples taken from the gums. The test is based on the detection of RNA, which is a molecule that is produced by living cells. The test can detect the presence of RNA from these bacteria, which indicates an active infection.

Symptoms

Periodontal disease can cause a range of symptoms, including:

• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Bleeding gums
• Receding gums
• Persistent bad breath
• Pus between the teeth and gums
• Loose or shifting teeth

If you have any of these symptoms, it is important to see a dentist or periodontist for an evaluation.

Diagnosis

The Peridontal Multiplex Detection & Differentiation (RNA Detection) Qualitative Test is a laboratory test that is performed on samples taken from the gums. The test can detect and differentiate the bacteria that are associated with periodontal disease. The test is highly sensitive and specific, which means that it can accurately identify the bacteria that are present.

If the test is positive for one or more of the bacteria, it indicates that there is an active infection. The dentist or periodontist will use this information to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to the specific bacteria that are present.

Cost

The cost of the Peridontal Multiplex Detection & Differentiation (RNA Detection) Qualitative Test is INR 11050. The cost may vary depending on the location and the laboratory that performs the test. Some insurance plans may cover the cost of the test, so it is important to check with your insurance provider.

Conclusion

The Peridontal Multiplex Detection & Differentiation (RNA Detection) Qualitative Test is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. The test can detect and differentiate the bacteria that are associated with the disease, which allows for a targeted treatment plan. If you are experiencing symptoms of periodontal disease, it is important to see a dentist or periodontist for an evaluation and to discuss the possibility of having this test performed.
