Oral Inflammation
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the usability of PerioMonitor™ in a medical clinic environment and to evaluate the effectiveness of a referral system from physicians to dentists for patients identified with high oral inflammation. PerioMonitor™ is an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device intended as an aid in the detection of oral inflammation in individuals of 18 years and older. This test is intended for use at point-of-care (POC) sites by health care professionals (e.g., physicians, nurses, medical assistants, dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants).
Interventions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ratio (%) of valid tests/performed tests | Day 0 | The ratio of valid PerioMonitor tests (with no issue reported) over the total number of tests performed |
| Ease of Test Performance | Day 0 | The Ease-of-Test Performance will be evaluated by a 5-question questionnaire |
| Use error | Day 0 | Any issue encountered with collection of specimens and/or test reading. The overall ratio (%) of tests with use errors as well as the ratio per operator will be measured |
| Comfort to participants | Day 0 | Comfort to participants with sample collection (Yes/No). The Overall ratio (%) of discomfort ('No') as well as the ratio per operator will be measured. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Proportion (%) participants referred to a Dental Specialist | 12-Month | The recommended course of action further to completion of the PerioMonitor test will be documented with a 4-item report form. The ratio (%) of participants referred to a dental specialist visit as the recommended course of action will be calculated. |
| Proportion (%) of compliant participants with the recommended visit to a Dental Specialist | 6-Month | Visits to a Dental Specialist will be monitored by querying participants' electronic medical records or by direct contact (email or phone) and data (visit date, treatment) will be documented in a report form. The ratio (%) of participants who completed a visit to a Dental Specialist over all participants referred to a dental specialist visit as the recommended course of action will be calculated. |
