To enhance GC’s minimal intervention programme further, the company has developed a new product. GC Saliva-Check Mutans adds another dimension by showing whether a patient carries a high level of Streptococcus mutans in the saliva.

This chair-side diagnostic tool helps to demonstrate whether a patient is at further risk of caries development, without the need for bacterial cultures. Once diagnosed, the practitioner can act upon this knowledge by prescribing effective oral hygiene measures accordingly.

It takes just 15 minutes to achieve a result with GC Saliva-Check Mutans, which will show the number of colony-forming caries bacteria in the saliva. Perfect for all age groups, GC Saliva-Check Mutans helps in the fight against caries development.
