product blast PerioSciences Showcases its AO ProVantage Family of Antioxidant Oral Care ProductsOne of the best things about the Chicago Dental Society’s annual MidWinter Meeting is the plethora of new products and new ideas that come bouncing out of the McCormick Convention Center every year.  There are always some amazing things that are announced at the meeting, and the following information details one of them…

PerioSciences, LLC (www.periosciences.com) will be launching the dental industry’s first antioxidant-based, topically-applied oral care products.

Specifically, the company will be presenting its AO ProVantage family of products, which contain the novel combination of antioxidants Phloretin and Ferulic. Phloretin and Ferulic have been shown in university based studies to neutralize free radicals which lead to oxidative stress commonly caused by dental materials, alcohol, nicotine, and the hydrogen peroxide used in teeth whitening products. Case studies reveal reduced inflammation and bleeding as well as accelerated wound healing in soft oral tissue. The AO ProVantage product line is as follows:

  • AO ProVantage: An antioxidant-infused gel designed for application on soft oral tissue is available in both a 30 ml and 15ml travel size delivers antioxidant to tissue and is extremely soothing upon application. Also contains antibacterial agents such as xylitol, menthol and thymol.
  • AO ProVantage BLAST: A higher concentration antioxidant gel is designed to be applied after tobacco use delivering the most advanced combination of antioxidants. The unique and strong combination of essential oils, and xylitol will freshen breath even after nicotine use. Package contains three .17ml airless bottles which are easy to carry.
  • AO ProRinse: An alcohol-free, mouth rinse that contains a proprietary antioxidant combination with the added power of catechins from Green Tea. This great tasting mouth rinse is extremely effective against general halitosis and also contains xylitol.
According PerioSciences Founder and CEO Russell Moon, “The AO Pro family of products have been proven to be well tolerated and highly effective by patients with extreme cases of halitosis and oral sensitivity, even when caused by serious conditions, such as bisphosphonate- related osteonecrosis of the jaw, post-oral surgery, and cancer treatments.”

PerioSciences and its AO Pro product line are the result of more than 20 years of experience in the topical application of antioxidants. Company CEO Russell Moon’s earlier venture, SkinCeuticals, which commercialized topically-applied antioxidant skincare, paved the way for PerioSciences with strong anti-inflammatory results from Duke University testing. SkinCeuticals was acquired by L’Oréal in 2005.

PerioSciences was founded in 2008, when additional research at Baylor College of Dentistry and UNC Chapel Hill School of Dentistry further confirmed that specific combinations of antioxidants neutralize free radicals / oxidative stress in the oral cavity. Antioxidants naturally occur in saliva, and abnormally low levels of salivary antioxidants have been associated with oral disease, such as oral lichen planus (OLP), temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), periodontal disease (PD), and even oral cancer.

    No more Nordstrom vs. Wal-mart

    For years, when talking marketing, this was a common question to ask, “Are you targeting Nordstrom clientele or Wal-mart people?” For dentists and physicians, this question is useless. Worse than useless, in fact, because it puts your focus on the wrong goals. People follow their insurance. They choose a hospital and physician from the list. They choose a dentist from the list. This trend is here to stay. So, if you want patients, you have to join the list. If [...]

    Who are your top suppliers? Who are you writing a significant check to each month?

    Great book for parenting: NurtureShock

    Although I normally write about dentistry and business management, I just finished a great book that shares unique insights into children – and for every dentist, hygienist, assistant and office manager raising children – I hope this is helpful. The authors, Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman, are journalists who realized that over the last 10 years there had been some revolutionary scientific research on children that might affect the way people parent. However, this great research was shared in 5 [...]

    Are you leaving money on the table? Submit your full fee to dental insurance

    Dentists agree – dental insurance is a necessary evil. Necessary to help fill schedules since we’re all trained (thanks to health insurance) that we must follow our insurance plan. Evil because it almost physically hurts to write off 15% – 40% of our fees. We all know that we’re taking a huge hit thanks to dental insurance, but are we also leaving money on the table that’s our own fault? Depending upon your set up for submitting claims to dental [...]

    Have you integrated your faith into your work?

    I recently attended the University of Dayton’s Faith at Work breakfast event – sponsored by the Center for the Integration of Faith and Work in the School of Business. Our speaker shared his ‘pilgrimage’ with faith and work. Influenced by his Catholic father who assembled headlights for Chrysler, he went on to teach in a Catholic school and later created a company that provided job training for displaced workers – particularly those from the manufacturing sector. He came to see his [...]
