Several colleagues and I recently had a discussion about the concept of why some dental offices were providing DNA testing for GENETIC PREDISPOSITION of periodontal disease.

For the life of me I couldn’t find ANY scientific evidence to support the rationale for this test! Then we began discussing providing risk analysis as a tool in patient management.

I offered to take this to the Users Forum to get some feedback on how other clinicians and offices are using, not using, or feel about providing these tools
