Inflammatory periodontitis is a complex disease affecting 50% of adults globally. It costs the UK economy £2.8billion and has health impacts beyond just dental issues, particularly in diabetes and heart disease. Research in the University of Birmingham led by Prof Iain Chapple has partnered with many major global industry leaders – such as Unilever, Philips and Mars – helping them to trial new products for diagnosis. In addition, it has directly led to smaller companies launching innovative online risk and disease assessment technology for high street dental practices, as well as low cost tests used to help patients with smoking cessation.
