SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 6, 2025 - Revolutionizing Preventive Dentistry Showcased at IDS 2025
Lumoral, the Finnish-developed light-activated therapy, made a major impact at the International Dental Show (IDS) 2025 in Cologne, Germany. This innovative oral care technology, designed to improve hygiene and reduce chronic infections, was presented to a global audience of dental professionals during the world's leading dental trade fair.

Advanced Light Therapy Targets Dental Biofilm
Lumoral's patented system combines antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT, 805 nm) and antibacterial blue light (aBL, 410 nm) to neutralize harmful bacteria. The process is further enhanced by heat and infrared light, creating a powerful yet non-invasive approach to improving oral health. Unlike chemical-based treatments such as chlorhexidine, Lumoral avoids the long-term side effects that limit conventional solutions.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 6, 2025 - Understanding Halitosis: A Widespread and Often Misunderstood Condition
Bad breath-medically referred to as halitosis-affects nearly one in four people globally. Despite its prevalence, many individuals remain unaware of their condition until it escalates into a social or professional issue. While occasional bad breath is common, persistent halitosis can indicate deeper oral or systemic health concerns.

According to leading studies, the primary cause of long-term or recurring halitosis lies within the mouth. Intraoral factors, particularly poor oral hygiene, drive the overproduction of volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs), which are responsible for unpleasant odors. These VSCs are produced by oral bacteria when hygiene routines falter, leading to plaque buildup, gum disease, and ultimately, persistent bad breath.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 6, 2025 - Understanding the Dual Burden of Diabetes and Gum Disease

A rising global health crisis demands unified solutions
Diabetes and gum disease-two of the most pressing global health concerns-are more interconnected than many realize. Affecting nearly half a billion people and half the world's population respectively, these chronic conditions pose not only individual health challenges but also escalating costs to healthcare systems worldwide.

The intricate relationship between the two is clear: "Treating periodontal disease in people with diabetes necessitates special attention due to diabetes potentially impacting oral health and impeding the healing of gum disease," notes Dr. Tommi Pätilä, cardiac and transplant surgeon at the New Children's Hospital at HUS.
