PSTŪ
Periodontal disease (gum disease), similar to many other chronic inflammatory disorders, varies from one individual to another with its severity and progression dependent upon the interaction of genetic and behavioral risk factors. With the PST® Genetic Test there is for the first time a reliable way of assessing an individual's genetic risk for periodontal disease, the most common cause of tooth loss.
PST® Genetic Susceptibility Test is the first and only genetic test that analyzes two interleukin 1 (IL1) genes for variations that identify an individual’s predisposition for over-expression of inflammation and risk for periodontal disease. To learn even more about PST®, read these bulletins: Bulletin 1, Bulletin 2, Bulletin 3, Bulletin 4.
