New service launched for the salivary testing instrument that "visualizes the oral environment"
Enabling more convincing feedback from dentists to patients
SillHa is a salivary testing instrument that can quantify the oral environment from oral rinse samples. It measures six parameters related to the oral environment and outputs information surrounding tooth health, gum health, and oral cleanliness on radar charts, creating test result sheets that are visually easy to understand. Since its launch in April 2016, the product has been used by a variety of medical institutions and research institutions, including dental clinics across Japan.
ARKRAY's new"SillHa Connect"isa free optional cloud-based service dedicated to SillHathat allows users to send data measured by SillHa to the cloud and output test result sheets containing more detailed information than ever before. It offers more specific advisory comments on each parameter and comparisons with average values for each of five age groups, based on newly gathered measurement data. The reliability of these average values will continue to improve as new measurement results are accumulated on the cloud. In addition, three types of test result sheets (simple version, detailed version, children's version) can be used to provide more convincing feedback according to each patient's needs. As well as being used at the time of a patient's first visit and subsequent checkups to improve their awareness of preventive measures and motivate them to seek treatment, the service can also be used as an option for annual health checkups at medical examination centers, or included as part of a health screening plan.
"SillHa Connect"will continue to evolve into a service that makes SillHa even easier to use and more beneficial for people's health by expanding to offer even more new features.
*New member registration is required to use SillHa Connect.
Using a liquid sample of water rinsed in the mouth for ten seconds, six parameters of the oral environment are measured in just five minutes. The measurement results are displayed on a radar chart along with brief comments on the results. This provides valuable insight into the condition of the mouth, which is difficult to be aware of, through objective data.
∗SillHa and its dedicated reagent, SillHa paper, are for research use. Measurement results cannot be used to diagnose disease or to aide the diagnosis of disease.

Salivary testing instrument SillHa
SillHa Connect renewed the design of test result sheets that are output after measurements. You can choose from three versions of test result sheets: a simple version that summarizes the results on a single sheet; a detailed version that includes more comprehensive information; and a children's version that summarizes the results in easy-to-understand language for children.
Previous result sheets showed measurement results compared to the overall average value of people in their 20s to 50s.
However, SillHa Connect gathers measurement data for five different age groups. Average values by age group can now be displayed based on this accumulated data. This is useful for visually identifying where a patient's measurement values are positioned against people in the same age group, and for raising awareness of their oral environment.
