Jackson will unveil two products produced from Smyles Above Innovations, producer of the IrriGuide and the AutoFlosser. The IrriGuide is a retrofitted adapter for dental implant surgical guides that channels saline through the guide to irrigate and cool an implant osteotomy, keeping it below the 47° F critical threshold. The AutoFlosser aids all-on-X implant plants, as well as those with bridges, bonded retainers, braces, that experience flossing difficulties, according to the company.

Jackson will unveil both products and pitch investors on Monday, December 2 during the Shils Entrepreneurial Fund's Great Oral Health Pitch, which will be held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
