• نبذة عن البـراءة

  An instrument and method for collecting and harvesting gingival crevicular fluid samples in a noninvasive manner is provided. Once optimally positioned, an absorbing brush of the instrument is inserted into the gingival sulcus of a patient and held in place while the bristles of the absorbing brush absorb the gingival crevicular fluid. Once removed from the collection sight, the absorbing brush bristles can provide a visual indication of the presence of biomarkers and proteins associated with periodontitis.
