Pioneering collaboration brings next-generation salivary testing and integrated care pathways to dental practices across North America.
Bridgewater, NJ (June 17, 2025) – Oasis Diagnostics® Corporation, a global leader in non-invasive salivary diagnostic technologies, and Nexus Dental Systems, a trailblazer in practice transformation, medical billing innovation, and integrated care strategies, are proud to announce a strategic partnership designed to accelerate the integration of precision diagnostics into everyday dental care.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the evolution of dental care, harnessing the unique diagnostic potential of saliva to bridge the gap between oral health and systemic disease prevention. By combining Oasis Diagnostics’ advanced salivary biomarker platforms with Nexus Dental Systems’ implementation expertise and expansive network of partner practices, the partnership aims to deliver transformative change in early disease detection, whole-person health management and clinical efficiency.
“The future of dentistry is deeply connected to precision diagnostics, and our partnership with Nexus Dental Systems allows us to integrate salivary testing seamlessly into dental workflows,” said Paul Slowey, PhD, CEO of Oasis Diagnostics. “Together, we are expanding the role of oral health professionals in detecting and managing systemic diseases through innovative, non-invasive solutions that are accessible, accurate and clinically relevant.”
Scott S. De Rossi, DMD, MBA, Chief Strategy Officer at Nexus Dental Systems, added, “Oasis Diagnostics is at the forefront of transforming how we utilize saliva as a diagnostic tool. By incorporating these technologies into Nexus Dental Systems-affiliated practices, we are not only improving patient outcomes but also elevating the role of dental professionals in preventive and precision medicine. This is a critical step toward redefining dentistry as an integral component of the larger healthcare ecosystem.”
Partnership Focus Areas
The collaboration between Oasis Diagnostics and Nexus Dental Systems will concentrate on several key areas:
- Deployment of Salivary Diagnostic Platforms
Nexus Dental Systems-affiliated practices will begin offering Oasis Diagnostics’ proprietary salivary tests, including those targeting biomarkers for oral cancer, systemic inflammation, viral and bacterial infections and chronic disease risk. - Medical-Dental Integration and Reimbursement Optimization
Through Nexus Dental Systems’ proprietary Nexus Bill medical billing platform and consulting expertise, practices will be trained and supported in securing reimbursement for medically necessary salivary diagnostics under CMS and private medical plans. - Provider and Team Education
Joint development of continuing education and microlearning modules will empower dental professionals to interpret diagnostic results, communicate findings to patients, and coordinate care with physicians and specialists. - Clinical Research and Validation
Select Nexus Dental Systems practices will participate in pilot studies and prospective data collection efforts to further validate the clinical utility and cost-effectiveness of salivary diagnostics in dental settings. - Expansion of Preventive and Personalized Care
By identifying patients at elevated risk for systemic conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea and autoimmune disorders, practices can tailor prevention strategies and make timely medical referrals.
Leading a New Era in Oral-Systemic Health
This partnership reflects the broader shift in healthcare toward precision, prevention and personalization—placing the dental profession at the center of this transformation. As the science continues to demonstrate strong links between oral and systemic conditions, and as the FDA, CMS and dental industry stakeholders expand support for salivary diagnostics, the integration of these tools into dental practices represents a critical frontier.
Dental professionals are increasingly recognized not just as oral health providers but as key players in early disease detection, chronic disease management and interdisciplinary care. This alliance between Oasis Diagnostics and Nexus Dental Systems aims to empower those providers with the tools, training and support needed to meet that expanded role.
