Lumoral® innovation
EFP anbefaler både professionel og hjemmebaseret biofilmkontrol til alle parodontitispatienter. Traditionel fotodynamisk terapi (aPDT) har dog hidtil været begrænset til klinisk brug med laser, hvilket har gjort regelmæssig behandling både dyr og utilgængelig.
Lumoral® ændrer dette ved at bringe metoden ind i hjemmet med LED-teknologi.
Det gør det muligt at udføre behandlingen sikkert og regelmæssigt, hvilket er essentielt for at opnå en varig effekt. Nu kan det fulde potentiale af aPDT udnyttes på en omkostningseffektiv måde, der understøtter patientens daglige pleje.
Tværfaglig ekspertise bag
Lumoral® er udviklet og produceret af den finske virksomhed Koite Health, hvor et ekspertteam af læger, ingeniører og kemikere står bag teknologien. Produktdesignet er skabt af Harri Koskinen.
Metoden bygger på tværfaglig forskning og solid medicinsk evidens. Både teknologi, produkter og anbefalinger er dokumenteret effektive og udviklet med fokus på høj brugervenlighed og sikkerhed til hjemmebrug.
Lumoral® er MDR godkendt medicinsk udstyr.
The History of Lumoral

2016
The mission of a cardiac surgeon
In 2016, cardiac surgeon Tommi Pätilä performed a complex heart operation at Helsinki University Hospital. Samples from the patient's heart muscle showed that complications were caused by oral bacteria. Pätilä immediately recognized the need for a new approach: he never again wanted to operate on a heart compromised by oral bacteria.
Up to 95% of oral diseases can be attributed to plaque formation. Although mechanical toothbrushing is an effective tool, it removes a maximum of 50–65% of plaque. Dr. Pätilä therefore recognized the necessity of supplementary strategies to target the remaining plaque and reduce the oral bacterial load that can affect both local and systemic health.

The meeting
A significant meeting
Around the same time, Pätilä met Sakari Nikinmaa, a civil engineer working on the Biodesign project at the Children’s Hospital. Nikinmaa was looking for a new, exciting project and was immediately interested in Pätilä’s observations. Together with Nikinmaa and the Biodesign team, they decided to take action. They established a research group at Aalto University, which initiated extensive technical and antibacterial studies.

The team
Important collaboration
The group invited some of the world's leading experts in physics, chemistry, and odontology. World-class expertise was also brought in from the field of technology. Juha Rantala, an internationally recognized semiconductor chemist, joined the team. Rantala has extensive experience in the application of antibacterial blue light. Similarly, the expertise of Saija Perovuo, a laboratory analyst at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases, was crucial for the development of Lumoral.

Innovation
Innovation
Extensive trials showed that by combining carefully selected light wavelengths with light-activated mouthwashes, a highly effective but localised antibacterial effect could be achieved. We developed innovative LED components with precisely selected wavelengths. After thousands of in vitro experiments, the parameters were optimised, and we were finally able to present a concrete treatment method: Lumoral, designed by Harri Koskinen.

Clinical trials
The Start
Under the leadership of Professor Timo Sorsa, extensive clinical studies were initiated across Europe. Randomized studies confirmed that the theory holds. When plaque bacteria are regularly inactivated as a supplement to other treatment, current treatment recommendations for periodontitis are significantly improved.

Success
International breakthrough
Lumoral has attracted significant international interest. Lumoral has attracted significant international interest. The treatment targets bacteria in plaque and supports the natural healing of the gums without disturbing the healthy bacterial flora. It enhances daily oral hygiene and supplements ongoing professional treatment, while also helping to prevent future dental problems.
The team continues its scientific work with ongoing studies in academic environments worldwide and has shown that Lumoral can benefit many patient groups with difficult-to-treat oral diseases.
Sådan virker Lumoral®
Lumoral® kombinerer fire biomodulære effekter i én effektiv behandling.

Dokumenteret effekt
✓ Effektiv behandling af gingivitis, parodontitis og peri-implantitis
✓ Kan bruges regelmæssigt uden risiko for bakteriel resistens
✓ Ikke-invasiv og veltolereret
✓ Reducerer plak og tandsten
✓ Reducerer inflammation
✓ Reducerer tandkødslommer
✓ Fremmer langsigtet mundhygiejne
✓ Nem at bruge, selv for ældre og unge

Fordele for den professionelle
Lumoral® forbedrer håndteringen af oral inflammation og gør flere patienter klar til behandling.
- Dobbelt så god effekt: I et 6-måneders klinisk studie (n=200) opnåede over dobbelt så mange patienter sundt tandkød sammenlignet med standardbehandling. Det gør, at patienter med parodontitis hurtigere kan starte på f.eks. implantat- eller bøjlebehandling.
- Kontrol i hverdagen: Behandlingen virker konsekvent mellem besøgene hos tandlægen, da biofilmen holdes under daglig kontrol. Det reducerer risikoen for parodontitis og tilbagefald af peri-implantitis.
- Målrettet støtte: Lumoral® er ideel til parodontal-, implantat- og ortodonti-patienter. Ved gingivitis eller peri-implantær mucositis kan effekten øges ved at bruge Lumoral® dagligt som et intensivt forløb.
I praksis betyder det en mere forudsigelig behandling, mere tilfredse patienter og færre komplikationer.
Når inflammationen håndteres bedre hjemme, forløber behandlingen lettere, og resultaterne bliver mere forudsigelige. Det forbedrer patientoplevelsen og mindsker udgifterne til fejlslagne behandlinger.
