Problem
Traditional oral hygiene methods often fail to effectively control harmful bacteria in dental biofilms, leading to common oral diseases such as caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis. The overuse of antibiotics and antiseptics like chlorhexidine can result in resistance formation, disruption of normal oral flora, and undesirable side effects such as tooth discoloration.
Solution
Koite Health offers Lumoral®, a patented medical device that utilizes light-activated antibacterial technology to target and eliminate harmful bacteria from teeth and gums. The system combines LED light technology with a light-activated Lumorinse mouthwash to disrupt bacterial biofilms without promoting antibiotic resistance or harming the natural oral flora. This dual-light photodynamic therapy (PDT) approach enhances the effectiveness of plaque removal compared to mechanical cleansing alone, providing a safe and sustainable method for preventing and treating oral diseases. By preserving the balance of the oral microbiome, Lumoral® helps to maintain overall oral health and reduce the risk of systemic diseases linked to oral pathogens.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals seeking advanced oral hygiene solutions, dental professionals looking for effective methods to prevent and treat oral diseases, and healthcare providers aiming to reduce antibiotic use in dental care.
