OraStripdxTM, a revolutionary rapid test, was launched at VMX 2023 by PDX BIOTECH LLC. It was created to detect active periodontal disease in dogs and cats with no anesthesia or sedation required. In peer-reviewed studies, OraStripdx was found to be significantly more effective than visual awake exams in detecting active periodontal disease. The test takes fewer than 10 seconds making it easy to share results with pet owners.
Periodontal disease begins long before it is visible. Being able to find it in its earliest stages and test it quickly and safely is a major advantage to pet owners and their healthcare providers.” – John Beran, CEO
Veterinarians or veterinary technicians simply slide the test strip along the gum line where the presence of thiols in the oral fluid cause the test strip to change color in seconds. The concentration of thiols, also called volatile sulfur compounds, in oral fluid is directly related to periodontal disease activity and affects the color on the test strip.
We noted study data revealed clients were 50 percent more likely to adhere to dental recommendations when strip results were presented.
