Preventive Dentistry
Prevention is the basis of modern medicine and dentistry, early diagnosis is the only tool that allows us to avoid diseases and their complications.
Preventive dentistry not only allows us an early detection of diseases of the mouth, we can also detect diseases of the whole body.
In IMOI we have three pioneer programs of early diagnosis:
Prevention of gum disease and bone such as periodontitis
With DNA analysis of the saliva, we can know which patients have a higher risk of having these diseases and know if they have aggressive pathogens (bacteria) in saliva. Once identified we can design customized surgeries for each patient and custom made treatment, monitoring and prevention programs.
Identification of patients with cardiac risk
Patients with gum disease have a higher risk of having coronary heart disease (myocardial infarction). This program lets us know if you have risk factors and how to prevent them.
Early diagnosis of oral cancer
With immunofluorescence techniques, we diagnose malignant lesions of the mouth that only detected early can be cured safely.
