Mouthpiece that sterilizes the mouth with light

Lumoral is a device that sterilizes the light emitted by the mouthpiece when photosensitive substances contained in the oral cavity adhere to bacteria. This product was created by Finnish startup Koite Health. If you hold the mouthpiece for about 10 minutes, the mouthpiece first sterilizes with red light and then increases the antibacterial effect with blue light. At the end of this process, brushing your teeth as usual will cleanse the dead germs. As a result, it may take about 10 minutes longer and you may feel cumbersome, but considering the effect of cleaning the mouth, it is acceptable.

Koite Health is not a simple startup, but is trying to commercialize the Rumoral created by Helsinki University Hospital and Alto University. It is a product that hospitals and universities have teamed up to develop. The research team explains that keeping the mouth clean with two mouthwashes and mouthpieces can also prevent gingivitis. It may also be useful for diabetics with a 10-fold risk of periodontitis. Related information can be found here .
