Modern Laboratory Diagnostics in Dentistry: Precise Analysis for Your Oral and Overall Health
Why laboratory tests are essential today
At our dental clinic, we rely on scientifically sound diagnostics that go beyond simple visual examination. Modern laboratory analyses enable us to:
✅ Early detection of systemic diseases with oral symptoms
✅ Specific differential diagnosis in cases of unclear inflammation or pain
✅ Personalized treatments based on individual biomarkers
✅ Objective monitoring of disease progression in patients with periodontitis or other chronic conditions
Through dental laboratory tests, we can identify these health risks:
🦷 Risk of periodontitis 🩸 Early indicators of diabetes ❤️ Cardiovascular risk 🦴 Signs of osteoporosis ⚡ Autoimmune diseases

🧬 What can laboratory diagnostics do in dentistry?
The oral cavity is often the first indicator of systemic diseases. With the help of modern laboratory tests, we can uncover connections such as:
- Periodontitis and heart attack risk : The detection of inflammatory biomarkers can indicate an increased cardiovascular risk.
- Type 2 Diabetes : Changes in saliva can provide clues even before a clinical diagnosis.
- Microbial dysbiosis : A targeted analysis of the oral microbiome helps identify sources of inflammation and allows for precise antibiotic use.
