Periowave Dental Technologies introduced the Periowave HHL-1000 cordless, handheld laser and Advanced Formulation treatment kits at the 2010 Ontario Dental Association meeting held May 13-15.
Both products represent more than 10 years of research and clinical development at Ondine Biopharma and more than 20 years preclinical research at University College London, England, the companies said in a press release.
Periowave is a nonantibiotic photodisinfection system for the dental market developed by Ondine that uses a low-intensity diode laser and a wavelength-specific, light-activated photosensitive compound which, when used in conjunction with standard methods of dental care, reduces the symptoms of chronic periodontitis, according to the company.
It is currently awaiting FDA clearance for marketing in the U.S.
