Blood or saliva testing carried out before treatment to identify dental materials your body is likely to react badly to.
A sample is tested against a panel of the chemical components found in dental materials, and the laboratory returns a report grouping products into suitable and unsuitable. Clinics use it to choose composites, cements, crowns and implant materials for patients with a history of sensitivity, autoimmune conditions or multiple chemical sensitivities. It reports immune reactivity to material components rather than diagnosing any illness.
