The future of oral hygiene is here! Live from the International Dental Show (IDS 2025) in Cologne, Germany, morning news viewers were introduced to Lumoral, a groundbreaking innovation transforming dental care that is making waves due to its ability to enhance oral health effortlessly and without side effects.
During the Morgenmagazin morning TV program, German TV host Peter Großmann brought the excitement directly to viewers, showcasing how light-activated Lumoral works.
“Now relax and read a book, get some light in your mouth, and your dental hygiene will improve,” explained Professor Werner Birglechner, who is head of Germany’s largest continuing education institute for dental prophylaxis specialists. His enthusiasm underscored the simplicity and effectiveness of the Lumoral innovation.
Dentist Ulrike Oswald, who tested the device on air, called it "a game-changer" and described it as "pleasant and easy to use." While it takes a moment to adjust to, she highlighted its convenience: “You can use it while vacuuming, exercising, or watching TV—oral care has never been this simple!”
The Finnish Innovation Behind Lumoral
Developed by Finnish scientists, Lumoral utilizes antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), a state-of-the-art technology that precisely targets harmful bacteria in the mouth without harming normal oral flora. While it doesn’t replace brushing and flossing, it significantly boosts oral hygiene, especially for those prone to gum disease and periodontitis.
During an interview, Professor Birglechner addressed the alarming prevalence of periodontitis in Germany. With approximately 10 million Germans affected, periodontitis is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide. Recent studies highlight its link to cardiovascular disease, underscoring the urgent need for advanced treatment options.
A Breakthrough in Periodontitis Treatment
As the world’s largest dental trade fair continues, breakthrough solutions for periodontitis are taking center stage. Among them Lumoral, designed by Finnish scientists to combat harmful oral bacteria effectively in both clinical settings and at home.
The Morgenmagazin morning TV program also tackled common dental health concerns. Experts noted that while mouthwash is widely used, its effectiveness in treating periodontitis remains inconclusive. Instead, they emphasized the importance of science-backed treatments like Lumoral.
Regarding toothbrushes, experts agreed that electric models generally outperform manual ones, but ultimately, the best choice is the one that ensures a thorough clean.
The discussion concluded with a vital message: periodontitis is a lifelong condition, but it can be managed. With Lumoral, maintaining oral health has never been easier.
As the IDS event continues to highlight cutting-edge advancements, Lumoral stands out as a true revolution in dental care—an innovation from Finland now making a global impact.
In Germany, approximately ten million people suffer from periodontitis. It is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide. New studies show that periodontitis is linked to interactions between bacteria in the mouth and cardiovascular disease. New treatment methods will be presented at the world's largest dental trade fair in Cologne. Lumoral is a new system for combating bacteria in the mouth that can also be used at home.
