Iain Chapple, Professor of Periodontology and Consultant in RestorativeDentistry, who runs an NHS referral center serving approximately six millionpatients, acts as adviser to OHI Ltd. Prof. Chapple commented, "PreViser isunique in its web-based approach to risk and disease scoring and has ascientific evidence base behind its efficacy. However, one of its biggestbenefits is the immediate and personalized biofeedback it offers to patients.We all know that successful periodontal therapy is founded on patienteducation and compliance with home care regimes. PreViser is a mostinnovative tool that motivates patients to take personal responsibility fortheir own oral health.
"In addition to the obvious patient and practitioner benefits, PreViserallows oral healthcare funders to focus their resources towards those thatneed it most and provides a platform from which to deliver truly preventativeoral care in a cost effective manner.
"As a teacher, it is exciting to be able to utilize the system, which isprovided free of charge to Dental Education establishments for educationalpurposes. The interactive nature of the platform is something dental studentsactively engage in and learn from. I would encourage every dental school totake advantage of this technology."
