DENTAID is equipped with one of the most advanced oral microbiology research laboratories in Europe, where it develops new solutions adapted to the oral needs of today's society and where it promotes basic research in this area.

DENTAID's research team, in collaboration with researchers from the Universidad Complutense Madrid's School of Dentistry, has recently published the results of a study entitled: Characterization and application of a flow system for in vitro multispecies oral biofilm formation in the Journal of Periodontal Research. 

The Journal of Periodontal Research is considered to be one of the scientific journals to have the highest impact in the area of dental research worldwide. 

This paper describes the development of an in vitro flow model for oral biofim formation, otherwise known as the artificial mouth. The importance of this system lies in the fact that it allows us to grow dental plaque and to simulate the shear forces and flow to which biofilm is subjected in the oral cavity. 

The results show that this is a highly reproducible and very useful model for assessing the antimicrobial activity of antiseptic molecules for oral use. This system is also used as a research tool to study the interactions between the bacteria that make up supra- and subgingival biofilms. 

The artificial mouth is truly revolutionary for evaluating the antimicrobial efficiency of oral hygiene products, as well as a highly useful tool for molecular research on biofilms.
