■ About VisPerio
"VisPerio" is a measurement system that measures pathogenic enzyme activity related to oral bacteria and displays the results as a 10-level score. By numerically visualizing the oral environment, which cannot be evaluated visually, it supports dental clinics in explaining conditions to patients, guiding self-care, and motivating them for maintenance. In recent years, while interest in preventive dentistry and regular oral health management has increased, patients face the challenge of not being able to truly grasp "how good or bad their oral condition is." VisPerio supports better communication between dental clinics and patients by clearly indicating indicators related to oral bacteria.
Displays test results with a 10-level score
■ Three Features of VisPerio
1. Measures pathogenic enzyme activity derived from oral bacteria in just 10 minutes
VisPerio measures pathogenic enzyme activity related to oral bacteria. By quantifying a part of the oral environment that is difficult to convey through visual inspection or subjective symptoms alone, patients can easily understand their own condition, leading to increased awareness for daily self-care and regular maintenance.
2. Displays results as a 10-level score, facilitating explanations to patients
Test results are displayed as a 10-level score, making them easy to explain to patients. Even patients without specialized knowledge can grasp their current status at a glance, which is expected to boost patient motivation and lead to behavioral changes.
3. Simple testing procedure minimizes burden on dental clinics
VisPerio offers a simple testing procedure, allowing dental clinics to introduce this examination service without placing a significant burden on their daily practice or maintenance operations. The measurement device is palm-sized and portable. Reagents can be stored at room temperature, making storage and operation within the clinic easy, and it can be utilized with minimal burden on staff.

■ Comment from Kunihiro Kaihatsu, Representative Director, Visgene Inc.
"Many bacteria exist in the oral cavity, and their activity state is deeply related to the oral environment. On the other hand, it is difficult for patients themselves to objectively grasp the condition of their oral cavity, and for dental clinics, how to convey the importance of self-care and regular maintenance is one of the major challenges. Visgene Inc. has been developing services to visualize the oral environment more clearly by measuring enzyme activity related to oral bacteria, utilizing our accumulated inspection technology. In June 2025, 'VisPerio' was exhibited at the 'Reborn Challenge' zone within the 'Osaka Healthcare Pavilion' at the Osaka-Kansai Expo. Now, in collaboration with Kyoei Sangyo Co., Ltd., a plastic product processing company, we are starting to sell VisPerio as a service that supports the visualization of the oral environment in dental clinics and easy-to-understand explanations for patients."
