How can Lumoral become part of the treatment in the clinic?

Lumoral® can be integrated directly into the clinic's workflows at several different points in a course of treatment and thereby support effective biofilm control before, during and after treatment:

  • Introduction and patient instruction: To ensure optimal patient compliance and correct use, the course begins with thorough instruction at the clinic. The patient gets to experience the fit of the mouthpiece and the mild thermal effect, while you advise on the correct use of the photosensitizer Lumorinse®. The aim is to create confidence in the treatment and establish a fixed home routine that supports the clinic's treatment goals.
  • Pre-instrumentation: Using Lumoral® immediately before scaling or periodontal treatment destabilizes the biofilm and facilitates the mechanical removal of plaque and calculus. This can help reduce the bacterial load during treatment and support good subsequent tissue healing.
  • Preoperative optimization: Using Lumoral® ahead of surgical procedures, including implant placement, reduces the bacterial load in the oral cavity. This can help reduce bacterial contamination of the surgical field and create good conditions for calm healing and successful osseointegration.
  • Extraction and postoperative care: As part of the postoperative course, Lumoral® can be used to control the level of bacteria around the wound site without mechanical disturbance. The treatment can help maintain good bacterial control during the healing phase and support calm tissue healing.
Is there scientific evidence behind Lumoral?

Yes. Lumoral® is based on a well-studied technology, antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), which is well documented in dentistry. Lumoral® combines aPDT with antibacterial blue light (aBL) in a home-based treatment developed to support control of the oral biofilm.

  • Developed in Finland: Lumoral® is a Finnish medical technology innovation developed by a multidisciplinary team of medical and biomedical experts focused on controlling the bacterial load in the oral cavity.
  • Clinically documented: Lumoral® has been investigated in a number of peer-reviewed studies, including randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs). Among other things, the studies have examined the effect on bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque and periodontal conditions as well as bacterial load around teeth and implants.
  • No known antibiotic resistance: Lumoral® works through a light-activated photodynamic process and is not based on antibiotics. The treatment is therefore not associated with the development of antibiotic resistance in the way antibiotic treatment is.

Where can the patient purchase Lumorinse tablets?

Patients can buy Lumorinse® tablets directly at the clinic in connection with their treatment, so they can easily continue their home routine. The tablets can also be bought online through the official consumer site lumoral.dk.
