Open Innovation Technical Need

Plaque removal technologies

Description

We are looking for new and differentiated plaque removal technologies that are compatible with standard Oral Health products.

Background

The accumulation of plaque can lead to bad breath, as well as swollen, sore, or bleeding gums, which are indicators of gingivitis, an early stage of gum disease. If left untreated, this common condition can progress to periodontal disease, leading to abscesses, receding gums, and even tooth loss.

Effective plaque removal is crucial for preventing this condition, and we are continually exploring innovative and differentiated technologies to achieve this.
