Largest gingivitis study in Europe concludes brushing is not enough

Europe’s largest uncorrelated periodontitis research is currently being carried out at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. The first results of the three-year research prove that using the Lumoral device created by Finnish health tech company Koite Health reduces gingivitis and improves dental hygiene manifold. The device utilizes an efficient antibacterial method developed by Finnish researchers and removes plaque from the mouth.

Periodontitis, an advanced infection caused by bacteria, is a disease that approximately affects up to 70 per cent of people in Western countries. Periodontitis is the sixth most common disease in the world that can also lead to other conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Infections in the mouth are mainly caused by built-up plaque when enough of it accumulates on the teeth.
