Individual risk assessment

Individual risk assessment is part of the personalized approach at Laser Dental Clinic and aims to identify factors that may influence the development, progression, and recurrence of oral diseases.

The assessment is based on a comprehensive set of data, including medical and dental history, clinical and periodontal status, caries activity, the condition of existing restorations, oral hygiene, dietary and behavioral factors, and other individual characteristics.

When clinically indicated, additional assessments may include saliva analysis, microbiological testing, evaluation of selected genetic predispositions, diagnostic imaging, and functional diagnostics.

Based on these findings, the patient may be assigned to an individual risk category and a personalized preventive, treatment, and maintenance strategy can be developed.

The assessment supports the determination of the appropriate frequency of preventive and follow-up visits, professional oral hygiene, individualized preventive measures, and the need for additional diagnostic or therapeutic monitoring.

Individual risk is not a fixed value. It is reassessed over time according to changes in oral and general health, treatment outcomes, and the control of identified risk factors.
