Spectrum Solutions®, a leading saliva diagnostic biotech company, has launched SimplyPERIO™, a new saliva diagnostic testing solution. This innovative test addresses the growing focus on the mouth-body connection and its impact on overall health. SimplyPERIO™ offers comprehensive health insights by analyzing 16 oral targets from a single patient sample, providing valuable clinical relevance.
Gum disease, known as periodontal disease, often goes undiagnosed and untreated despite its significant negative impact on overall health. SimplyPERIO™, a new saliva diagnostic test from Spectrum Solutions®, addresses this issue by utilizing proprietary molecular technology to detect periodontal bacteria, caries, and other oral targets in a single, affordable test. This innovative approach not only provides a comprehensive view of oral health but also helps healthcare providers elevate patient care with precise and data-supported treatment plans.
Dr. David Vigerust, Chief Science Officer at Spectrum Solutions, emphasizes the simplicity and efficiency of SimplyPERIO™ testing, which is pain-free and requires less than 30 seconds for patients to collect their samples. The CAP-accredited laboratory ensures accurate and reliable results, enabling informed discussions between providers and patients about managing and reversing gum disease and associated systemic risks.
Statistics in the U.S. reveal that 80% of individuals over 35 have some form of gum disease, including gingivitis, periodontitis, and peri-implantitis. Traditional methods like perio-probes or visual exams during routine cleanings may not detect hidden periodontal disease pathogens. This undetected oral bacteria can lead to serious health complications affecting the heart, arteries, and central nervous system.
SimplyPERIO™ features a patented blue buffer solution that stabilizes saliva samples at room temperature, simplifying sample collection and storage. Patients can collect samples at home for follow-up testing, or providers can gather samples in-office and mail them back to the lab for processing. Spectrum Solutions is committed to promoting overall wellness through innovative healthcare solutions, bridging the gap between science and practical applications in diagnostics and treatment.
