Ionic Toothbrush Brings New Technology to Oral Health Prevention
Bacteria in dental plaque attack food, producing acid. This acid causes bad breath, tooth decay [caries], and gum disease [periodontal]. Normally, saliva neutralizes this action. But when plaque builds up, it acts as a barrier, preventing the neutralizing action of the saliva. According to clinical studies, the Soladey-2 ™ toothbrush can help stop this plaque build-up. Working with saliva, the brush controls and reduces the bacteria responsible for plaque. Plaque build-up is reduced by the natural cleansing action of safe, free electrons emitted from the revolutionary semiconductor rod. Teeth feel and look cleaner. Through superior cleaning ability, plaque adhesion to your teeth is reduced photo-electronically. Toothpaste is unnecessary. Effective plaque removal is possible with or without toothpaste; ordinary light activates the patented semiconductor rod and cleans your teeth without abrasives. With sensible care, the handle and rod will last for years, requiring only inexpensive replaceable heads. The replacement heads provide all the benefits of the Soladey-2 at a comparable cost of a regular toothbrush.

Fluorescence Visualizaton Technology for Early Detection of Oral Cancer
Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer in males in the US. Unlike several other cancers, the survival rate for oral cancer has remained unchanged for decades. The overall 5-year survival rate for oral cancer is 52%, but when discovered early, it increases to over 80%. Unfortunately, only 35% of oral cancer cases are diagnosed in the early stages. Why? Because there have been few advances made in screening techniques and there are significant limitations inherent to white light and chemiluminescence light examination of the oral mucosa Pre-malignant changes actually start below the surface, at the basement membrane. These changes may not be apparent to the naked eye until the disease progresses to the surface.
