In fact, the susceptibility to caries, oral diseases and inflammation is so high in some patients that we have to look for factors outside the mouth. In some cases, such patients hardly respond to treatment. A measurement of the immune parameters can provide information. A saliva sample is taken in the laboratory to determine whether the mucosal barrier is immunologically intact and whether antibodies are present in the saliva. If the result is negative, the organism is more susceptible to infections. For further examinations, your dentist in Zell am Harmersbach will then refer you to your family doctor or to the immunology department of a larger clinic.
