This was a very easy decision, having seen the technology, scientific portfolio and safety data, it was clear that the potential oral and systemic health benefits of SiPore® are tangible and could be field changing. I was particularly drawn by the physical rather than chemical mode of action of the technology, its flexibility and broad functionality, which could significantly impact the oral as well as the gut microbiome in a positive manner. Taken together the arguments for significant health benefits are compelling and there is some exciting science to be done.
Professor Iain Chapple from the University of Birmingham’s College of Medical and Dental Sciences
Through my own research into diabetes, I knew of the connection between bad metabolic health and bad oral health. We are therefore excited to work with Iain and his team to explore the possibility of using our technology to help lessen the burden of sugars in the mouth and improve both related conditions.
Professor Tore Bengtsson, Sigrid co-founder and CSO
By effectively removing amylase, SiPore® decreases the availability of sugar and restricts the growth of pathogenic bacteria and the formation of dental biofilm and plaque. Therefore, as a dentist myself, I believe SiPore® could be one of the biggest innovations in preventative oral health since fluoride. However, in recent years Professor Chapple and others have already shown the links between poor oral health and other systemic metabolic diseases. Which opens even wider potential applications for SiPore®.
Damir Konakovic, Head of Sigrid’s Oral Health Division
There is a very strong link between bad metabolic health and bad oral health, and this is a reason why we looked into this direction. We are excited by the possibility of our technology to help lessen the burden of sugars in the mouth and improve oral health.
Professor Tore Bengtsson, Sigrid co-founder and CSO, and the inventor behind the SiPore® technology
As a dentist, I believe SiPore® could be one of the biggest innovations in preventative oral health since fluoride and a game changer in the oral care industry. By effectively removing amylase, SiPore® decreases the availability of sugar and restricts the growth of pathogenic bacteria and the formation of dental biofilm and plaque. SiPore® is compatible with fluoride, but unlike fluoride it exerts its effect before the tooth has started to demineralize. Already we have attracted a great deal of interest among European dental professionals and KOL’s and IDS gives us now the opportunity to introduce SiPore® to the global oral health community. We are interested in collaborating with established oral care companies that seek to co-develop, commercialize, and bring our intellectual property and technology to market successfully
Damir Konakovic - leading Sigrid’s international expansion into the dental market.
Along with diabetes and obesity, right from the beginning, we identified the oral health market in particular as a major opportunity. Over 3.5 billion people worldwide suffer from oral caries and periodontal disease and with poor nutrition a growing problem, this number will only increase. SiPore® is a truly innovative technology that can make a real difference.
Sana Ajamovic, Sigrid’s Co-Founder and CEO.
Although we have seen clinically significant effects of the SiPore® technology in previous clinical trials including a 40% larger HbA1c reduction compared to Metformin in prediabetics*, the overwhelmingly positive, subjective ratings from the users exceeded our expectations.
