LIPID-A BASED BIOSENSORS FOR PREVENTION OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES AND PERSONALISED, POINT-OF-CARE PERIODONTAL THERAPY

Svetislav Zaric (Inventor)

Research output: Patent

Abstract

A method is provided for screening, risk assessment, prevention and early diagnosis ofperiodontal disease and/or peri-implantitis, patient-centred point-of-care periodontal therapy and monitoring treatment outcomes in a subject. The method comprises:collecting subgingival plaque samples from one or more sites around one or more teeth; extracting lipopolysaccharides (LPS, also known as lipoglycans or endotoxin) from the or each sample; and assaying sub-gingival LPS activity after extraction, using recombinant Factor C (EndoZyme or LAL assay).
