To further enhance GC's Minimal Intervention programme, the company have developed GC Saliva-Check Mutans. This chair-side diagnostic tool adds another dimension by showing whether a patient carries a high level of Streptococcus mutans in their saliva and 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 15 minutes to achieve a result with GC Saliva-Check Mutans, which will show the number of colony-forming caries bacteria in the saliva and is suitable for all age groups.
