Health and Biocompatibility Testing

Gum disease and oral cancers are a major cause of health problems in today's society. Plus, in the last 10 years a link has been discovered between chronic inflammatory periodontal "gum disease" infections and systemic diseases such as: Heart disease Diabetes Stroke Some forms of cancer and other diseases

Fortunately, with OralDNA® salivary diagnostic tests you can quickly and painlessly get tested for potential problems so you can receive treatment before they become a serious health problem.

Dr. Cintron provides 3 types of testing with the OralDNA® Labs system:

• MyPerioPath® – Identifies and measures certain bacteria in your mouth that cause “gingivitis” (an early stage gum disease) and periodontal disease (mature gum disease) so they can be properly treated and corrected.
• MyPerioID® PST® – Identifies if you are at increased risk for developing serious gum tissue infections such as inflammatory periodontal disease so preventive measures can be used to prevent gum diseases.
• OraRisk® HPV – Identifies if you are at increased risk for HPV-related oral and throat cancers.

We cater to cowards!

These OralDNA® diagnostic tests are quick and non-invasive tests of your saliva. No shots are needed so you will be comfortable during the testing. The tests quickly and accurately diagnose diseases and cancers so they can be promptly treated so you can maintain healthy teeth and gums (and your overall health) for a lifetime.

ALCAT Testing

Common, everyday problems like migraines, aching joints, fatigue gastrointestinal disorders, eczema, hyperactivity, ADD, asthma, and even obesity have been linked to food sensitivity and chronic activation of the immune system. The ALCAT test is a simple blood test that can be used to identify food and other factors that induce innate immune system activation. It measures changes in size and volume of white blood cells in response to ex vivo challenges with foods, chemicals and other environmental stimuli. This test has helped many professional athletes and is especially good for those who want a fast recovery from mercury toxicity. For more information see ALCAT.

Biocompatible Testing

Clifford Materials Reactivity Testing (CMRT) is a laboratory screening process used to help identify existing sensitivity problems to various chemical groups and families of compounds in an individual patient. This process is currently being implemented in the CMRT Dental Test. After a patient's test has been completed, the patient's reactivity test results are compiled in a report.

In modern society we come in contact with many substances every day in the food we eat, the products we use and the treatments we receive. Because each of us possesses a unique biochemistry, these substances effect each of us differently and in varying degrees. For some, the effects of certain substances can be toxic and hazardous, and may result in serious health problems. A substance which causes little or no reaction in one individual can prove harmful to another. This test will provide you with extensive information about your individual sensitivities so that the least offensive materials can be chosen and used in your treatments.

SpectraCell Testing

Overwhelming scientific evidence confirms that vitamin deficiencies are associated with disease processes and the overall condition of one’s health. Vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies have been shown to suppress immune function and contribute to chronic degenerative processes such as arthritis, cancer, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This body of research has been reaffirmed by the Journal of the American Medical Association (June 19, 2002-Vol 287, No 23).

SpectraCell Laboratories, Inc. is a CLIA accredited clinical laboratory that specializes in micronutrient testing. This patented process resulted from 18 years of research at the University of Texas. The micronutrient tests measures how micronutrients are actually functioning within your patients’ white blood cells. These tests allow nutritional assessment of your patients for a broad variety of clinical conditions including arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular risk, diabetes, various immunological disorders, metabolic disorders and micronutrient deficiencies. Also offered by SpectraCell is a specialized profile of homocysteine, lipids and proteins to assess cardiovascular risk.
