Why Lumoral?
What is residual plaque?
Plaque is more than just something that builds up on the teeth. It is a layer of harmful bacteria that can place a constant burden on the gums, leading to irritation, bleeding, bad breath, and inflammation. Oral health is also closely connected to overall health, keeping plaque under control matters more than many people realise.
While brushing and interdental cleaning are essential, they do not remove enough plaque on their own.
Lumoral was developed in Finland through years of research led by heart surgeon Dr. Tommi Pätilä together with leading universities and research partners. It was created to complement mechanical cleaning and bring a more advanced approach to plaque control into daily home care.
Advanced technology, now at home
Lumoral brings a treatment approach once familiar mainly in dental clinics into daily home care.
Built on a patented combination of light and a photosensitizer, Lumoral is designed to complement brushing and help control plaque in a more advanced way.
It is a CE-marked medical device created for safe, simple, and effective home use supporting cleaner teeth, healthier gums, and a fresher mouth as part of your new and now upgraded dental routine.
Targeted effect
The exceptional antibacterial effectiveness of Lumoral treatment comes from the light-activated Lumorinse mouthrinse. This innovative rinse targets residual plaque with microscopic precision, maintaining a healthy bacterial balance in the mouth and shielding it from unnecessary antibacterial effects.
Similar light-activated antibacterial treatments have been used previously in dental clinics. Their effectiveness has traditionally been limited by high costs and the need for frequent applications to achieve significant benefits.
Plaque is always present on teeth
After traditional brushing, the teeth may look clean to the naked eye (left). However, near-infrared light reveals that plenty of plaque remains on the teeth.
Lumoral inactivates plaque bacteria accumulated on the tooth surface and gum line with microscopic precision. This slows down the formation of new plaque.
Medical technology excellence
Lumoral is developed and produced by Koite Health ltd., a team of Finnish doctors, engineers, chemists and semiconductor technology specialists. The product is designed by award-winning designer Harri Koskinen.
Lumoral is based on multidisciplinary research and development. The method, product, and intended use are based on medical technology quality and efficacy.
Lumoral is intended for home use and must, therefore, meet high standards of user-friendliness and safety.
LUMORAL IN MEDIA
Supported by strong scientific evidence and the recommendations of a growing group of oral health professionals, Lumoral is attracting widespread international interest.
Adding Lumoral treatment to their normal oral hygiene routine can help avoid the need for major dental procedures in the future.
Dual-light photodynamic therapy helps kill oral bacteria
Antibacterial light-activated therapy improves oral hygiene. It can also increase oral moisture, as dry mouth is common in elderly individuals with multiple medications.
One key advantage of this antibacterial method is its selectivity. Lumoral primarily targets harmful oral bacteria, unlike other antimicrobial mouthwashes such as chlorhexidine.
Developed collaboratively with dental and therapy experts, Lumoral represents a significant advancement in oral hygiene technology, aiming to provide a practical and non-invasive method for enhancing oral health at home.
