LED Medical Diagnostics has announced the results of an oral health screening program in Canada.
Customers of the London Drugs pharmacy chain were offered a comprehensive oral examination to screen for oral mucosal abnormalities, according to the company. The screenings used LED Medical's VELscope Vx oral assessment system.
Of the 167 patients screened, more than 20% had an oral mucosal abnormality and were referred for diagnostic intervention. Some 96% said they would recommend the screening, and 86% said they would get annual oral health screenings.
