Oral and dental health is a concept that encompasses the teeth, gums, tongue, and soft tissues. Failure to maintain oral and dental health, the lack of treatment for occurring ailments, or the prolonged duration of treatment affects the entire body and lowers living standards.
Irregular brushing of teeth and the lack of oral care cause the formation of cavities; microorganisms accumulating on the teeth form plaque structures, while plaques accumulating at the gingival margin constitute the primary factor of gum diseases. Periodontal diseases, on the other hand, are illnesses that begin with the inflammation of the supporting tissues surrounding the teeth and cause tooth loss when left untreated. Along with the pocket structures formed after periodontal disease, attachment loss occurs in the teeth, tooth roots are exposed, and the risk of tooth loss increases. Furthermore, the failure to treat periodontal diseases triggers various conditions such as heart diseases, miscarriages during pregnancy, and diabetes.
Within the scope of this business idea, the plasma source PoliPlasma will be developed as a product platform, capable of producing different forms of cold atmospheric plasmasuch as dielectric barrier discharge and air jetwhose antimicrobial efficacy and penetration properties have been academically proven, and whose application site on the body can change with different head designs. Subsequently, P-White, the first product to operate on the PoliPlasma platform, will be developed; it includes an air jet-assisted handle body that generates sonic waves, customized for oral and dental care, a head with brush bristles, and a head designed for direct cold atmospheric air jet plasma applications.
