Seeking Oral Care Solutions with Novel Cleaning Agents

What we are looking for:

Compounds or devices that:

• Remove dental calculus with home hygiene tools (ideally regular brushing) in a useable time frame, minimally noticeable on buccal and lingual anterior tooth surfaces, ideally all surfaces
• Minimize the deposition, growth or maturation of plaque, ideally without mechanical removal forces
• Enable dispersion of biofilm on hard and/or all soft tissues, in particular tongue
• Are able to provide long lasting and noticeable clean feel benefits over an extended period
• Chemically remove/lift debris and/or plaque from in between teeth or from below the gum

Product/technology form may include:

• Paste/gel
• Rinse
• Device/Alternate forms/combination

Preference for products/technologies that:

• Performance and efficacy is demonstrated in recognized oral care performance tests
• Data available on full formulations
• Human safety has been confirmed and material(s) are GRAS such as food grade ingredients, CONEG and PROP65 compliant
• Have consumer or clinical studies, FDA approval under the appropriate class, or an expedited path to FDA approval for US markets. Will consider global rest of world relevant technologies – will require understanding of regulatory path
• Have granted or filed patent applications
• Provides a signal tied to cleaning (e.g. sensorial, healthy color, etc.)
• Products provide additional benefits (e.g. fresh breath, clean feel) ideally over a prolonged period of time

What we are NOT Interested In:

• Technologies/products that need to be applied by Dental professionals or require a prescription
• Technologies/products that require extensive laboratory, safety, regulatory or clinical development
• Technologies/products not covered by Intellectual property
