| Method | Real‑Time RT‑PCR with confirmatory Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) | Aerobic and anaerobic culture on selective media |
| Turnaround | Phone result: 36 hours | Full email report: 4th working day | 5–10 working days |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a physician, I understand the anxiety that oral health concerns can cause. This advanced RNA test provides clarity, but remember that results must be interpreted alongside your clinical signs; no single test replaces a thorough dental examination. If you have persistent bleeding or swelling, consult your dentist immediately.”
— Dr. Ajay Singh, General Practitioner, DHA License 36234132
Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed antibiotic or other medication without consulting your doctor. This test is designed to inform, not replace, professional medical advice.
Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- This test is not a substitute for a comprehensive periodontal examination or emergency care.
- Not appropriate for patients with acute dental abscess requiring immediate surgical drainage.
- Seek emergency medical care immediately if you develop sudden facial swelling, difficulty breathing, high fever, or spreading neck pain.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does this test detect and why is it important?
This detects RNA from four key periodontal pathogens—P. gingivalis, A. actinomycetemcomitans, F. nucleatum, and T. forsythia—enabling precise diagnosis and targeted therapy. Detecting active bacterial RNA, rather than DNA alone, reflects current infection status and helps your physician prescribe the most effective antibiotic, prevent disease progression, and lower the risk of tooth loss and cardiovascular complications.
2. How is the sample collected and is it painful?
Sample collection involves a gentle gum scrape or saliva swab performed by a nurse, causing minimal discomfort. A soft micro‑brush is rubbed along the affected gumline or tooth deep pocket to obtain a plaque specimen; the process takes less than a minute and does not require an injection.
3. When will I get my results and how will I receive them?
You receive preliminary results by phone within 36 hours and a full report by email on the 4th working day. The report includes pathogen‑specific RNA detection status and clinical interpretation guidance, enabling your doctor to immediately tailor treatment. You may also access your report securely via our patient portal.
