OralRisk (R) HPV is a new diagnostic test that enables a dental office to assess a patients' risk for developing Human Papilloma Virus before an oral lesion is even visible. It is currently estimated that 50% of all oral cancers are associated with HPV lesions. HPV is sexually transmitted and is the causative agent in more than 90% of all cervical cancers.
The death rate associated with oral cancer is particularly high due to the fact that it is usually not discovered until its later stages. This is according to the Oral Cancer Foundation. Not all versions of HPV are equally destructive.
