A collaboration agreement between Koite Health and Innodent Trading has been announced to introduce the Finnish light activated Lumoral technology to the Thai market.
Founded in 2017, Innodent provides dental solutions to Thailand’s healthcare sector. Driven by a commitment to leverage the latest advancements in high-tech solutions, the company aims to provide the most innovative technologies to the dental industry.
“The introduction of Lumoral to Innodent’s product portfolio was the result of a personal recommendation from Dr Hildebrand, a renowned maxillofacial surgeon from Berlin. Dr Hildebrand’s successful clinical experiences with Lumoral convinced the team at Innodent to explore this revolutionary technology further,” said Thomas Constantin, CEO and owner of Innodent Trading.
“Lumoral is an innovative personal healthcare device designed to remove 99.9% of harmful oral bacteria while preserving the healthy mouth flora. Traditional oral hygiene methods can only remove approximately 60% of bacteria, leaving behind a significant risk of oral health issues,” Constantin explained.
According to Koite Health, its Lumoral’s technology utilises colour molecules in its Lumorinse mouth rinse, which adhere to harmful oral bacteria attached to teeth surfaces and gum tissue in the mouth. Subsequently, the light emitted by the mouthpiece reacts with the green sensitiser, effectively breaking down the cell membrane of bacteria and destroying them both from inside and outside. This method ensures the eradication of harmful bacteria without the risk of resistance development.
“Oral bacteria can cause dental caries and bad breath but there can also be more severe secondary effects such as cardiovascular diseases, dementia, psoriasis and many more. Overall health starts with a healthy mouth. It is therefore important to regularly clean the mouth thoroughly,” Constantin added.
The addition of Lumoral to Innodent’s product portfolio is said to align with the company’s focus on dental implantology, with a specialisation in ceramic implants. While the industry predominantly utilises titanium implants, scientific evidence suggests a significant risk of peri-implantitis, an inflammation of the tissues surrounding these metal implants, over time.
Furthermore, Lumoral’s versatility is said to extend beyond implant care, offering benefits for individuals with various oral health concerns, including chronic bad breath, gum disease, and orthodontic patients wearing braces or clear aligners.
“Lumoral presents a solution to mitigate this risk, offering long-term benefits for implant patients. This accessibility makes Lumoral an invaluable addition to Innodent’s offerings, catering to a diverse range of dental needs in Thailand,” said Constantin. “The great advantage of Lumoral however, is that everyone benefits from removing harmful oral bacteria. Whether you are wearing braces or clear aligners, suffer from chronic bad breath, gum disease or simply want to have a perfectly clean and healthy mouth, Lumoral is your solution.
Furthermore, the collaboration between Koite Health and Innodent is said to hold promising prospects for both companies and dental patients in Thailand. According to Constantin, this partnership marks a significant expansion into the B2C market, enabling Innodent to reach individual consumers through online channels like their dedicated webshop.
“This shift opens new avenues for marketing and sales, enhancing accessibility to innovative dental solutions for patients across the country. Ultimately, the collaboration aims to raise awareness about oral health and its crucial role in overall well-being among the Thai population,” said Constantin.
