This customizable irrigation tool proven to reduce bleeding, plaque, and inflammation will allow patients to improve their home care hygiene routine, improving teeth and gum health
Fresh Health has announced its new Proclaim™ Custom-Jet Oral Irrigator, a device that is designed for home care routines to reduce plaque accumulation. Proclaim utilizes intraoral scanning and 3D printing to craft a customized mouthpiece that contains up to 60 pressurized jets. Jets send precision pulsing water between the teeth and gum line, automating the irrigation system for patients at home, according to a press release from Fresh Health.
Along with the unveiling of Proclaim, Fresh Health also released clinical results to prove its efficacy for patients at home. Participants who used Proclaim along with their regular brushing routine demonstrated 12.8 times more inflammation reduction, 8.9 more bleeding reduction, and 9.3 times more reduction in plaque levels, per the press release. The Proclaim group also showed a 5.4 times greater pocket depth reduction and a 1.6 times greater bleeding on probing reduction compared to a brushing and flossing group. Proclaim was also demonstrably effective in difficult to reach interproximal areas, leveraging the irrigator’s unique 360-degree deep cleaning.
Proclaim will help revolutionize at-home irrigation, according to Dr Robert Eber, Clinical Professor and Director of Clinical Research at University of Michigan School of Dentistry, and Diplomate and Past Chair of the American Board of Periodontology.
“For the nearly half of Americans struggling with some form of gum disease, there’s no doubt this first-of-its-kind advancement will be life changing,” Dr Eber says in the press release. “The results of this clinical study prove that technological innovation can truly revolutionize and improve a routine, age-old practice with the push of a button. I predict it will positively impact hygiene behaviors and patient outcomes for generations to come.”
