MNT SmartSolutions is a biotech company that is engineering sustainable, modern “smart” materials, with unique electronic and magnetic properties to advance science and medicine. These novel materials effectively prevent and treat periodontal disease and dental caries by noninvasively targeting the bacterial biofilms on the surfaces of the teeth, orthodontic wires, crowns, bridges, areas between the teeth and beneath the gum line in an ecofriendly manner. The technology also has great potential as an internal or topical anti-bacterial agent and may be extended to virtually any application in which antimicrobial action is sought.

One of every two American adults suffers with periodontal disease; the prevalence rises to 70 % in adults aged 65 and older and is as high as 100% in developing countries.

One of every two American adults suffers with periodontal disease; the prevalence rises to 70 % in adults aged 65 and older and is as high as 100% in developing countries. Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition stemming from the persistence of bacterial biofilm infections (the dental plaque) in the mouth. It is considered the 11th most prevalent disease in the world. Along with gingivitis, periodontitis is the most common of adolescent and adult gum diseases. Not only can periodontal diseases lead to tooth loss, but they are also linked to numerous other serious diseases and health problems, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, adverse pregnancy outcomes, Alzheimer’s, kidney disease, and cancer.

MNT SmartSolutions is developing a novel, nanotechnology-based, interactive toothpaste/toothbrush combination product. Our nano-composites can be used to treat and prevent microbial growth and plaque formation in the mouth, be magnetic-gradient guided to target infected areas, and perform instantaneous biofilm disruption, along with the sustained-release of active agents to the biofilms over time. This smart toothpaste can be switched on and off, remote controlled by an electromagnetic field, move, scrub, and even generate heat when used in combination with the interactive toothbrush. This product will to revolutionize the oral care industry, which has remained unchanged for as long as most people can remember.
