Procter & Gamble entered into a research collaboration with Dr. Hyun (Michel) Koo, Professor in the Department of Orthodontics, Division of Community Oral Health, Division of Pediatric Dentistry in the School of Penn Dental Medicine, to fund a multi-year development project focusing on a unique dental technology platform based on automated disruption and removal of cavity causing oral biofilms in dental patients. The initial goal of the multi-year project is to use a combination of robotics, chemistry and magnetic actuation to develop a device prototype that can be used in additional translational studies.
