Biolux Story



The Biolux Story

Biolux Research is a world leader in the development of light activated bone regeneration systems for dentistry and implantology.  Biolux expertise is on product development, clinical and basic research and is well positioned to release its OsseoPulse™ to the marketplace in 2008. Its proprietary, patent pending OsseoPulse™ Bone Regeneration System is premised on a vision to transform the practice of implantology and oral surgery in dentistry by accelerating implant integration and bone regeneration in a safe, effective and non-invasive approach.

BIOLUX proven light treatment technology harmless and accelerates the natural regenerative ability of osteoblasts and others cells involved in Osseointegration of dental; implants
The light activated bone regeneration systems have provided a new direction to entire Osseointegration process. Our published clinical research demonstrates that a daily 21 day treatment can decrease time to integrate by up to 58%.
OsseoPulse treatment virtually eliminates the progressive loss of stability most implants typically experience in the early weeks after placement.
OsseoPulse treatment delivers energy directly to the wound and Osteotomy to accelerate early would heal, immediate implant loading and bone
Cellular studies have shown that OsseoPulseTM treatment increases fibroblast and osteoblast proliferation compared to control.
OsseoPulse™ technology targets energetic photons to the traumatized and ischemic surgical site which is converted to chemical energy (ATP) in the mitochondria.
In short, the OsseoPulse treatment is based on the principal of harnessing the power of photon and converting the energy into chemical energy. Entire energy is then transferred to precursors and fibroblasts, which increases the production of ATP and leads to faster osseointegration of implants. This results in faster healing of wound, better implant stability and bone formation.
Clinical research has shown that the time required in OsseoPulse treatment for achieving total stability in implant bone is 58% less as compared to other dental implant osseointegration methods.

The headset designed for dental implant bone treatment is very light in weight, does not interfere with normal functioning of mouth and eyes and can be operated with just one button by the patient. Some other features are:

1. The low profile headset is comfortable and lightweight.
2. Soft nose and earpieces for individual comfort.
3. Flexible headset and array positioning to fit range of patients.
4. As easy to wear as glasses.
5. Hands free operation during treatment.
6. Cable management incorporated into headset.
7. Supports up to 4 arrays for complex treatment plans.

    

The headset is uniquely designed for implant patients.
Patients report a warm, pleasant sensation during treatment.
Flexible positioning of treatment array anywhere on mouth.
Does not cover mouth or eyes - allows normal function.

Easily adjustable vertical rail and array arm.
Array floats to provide minimal contact pressure on contour of face.

    

Treatment array for 3 or 4 adjacent teeth.
Visible far red wavelength LED module.
Extra-oral, smooth design for skin contact.
Patients do not require eye protection.

Adjustable for patient and complexity of treatment.
Simple positioning with 3 screws by the dentist.
Array floats to fit to curvature of face.

Lightweight controller, hands free operation during treatment.
Support two arrays for simultaneous treatment of 2 surgical sites.
Simple, intuitive user interface for dentist to select protocol and program treatment plan.
Patients can operate it with only 1 button.
Counts down time and treatment sessions for patient awareness.
Automatically turns off array if it is removed during operation.

Proven Clinical Results

35 patients had 63 dental implants placed in either the maxilla or mandible. 23 patients had an OsseoPulseTM LED device (Biolux Research Ltd, Canada) positioned over the surgical site by the patient and utilized on a daily basis of 20 mW/cm2 for 20 min at a wavelength of 618 nm for 21 days. All implants were tested for primary stability with an Osstell Mentor RFA device (Osstell AB, Sweden) at the time of implant placement, and at 14, 30, 60 and 90 days. Patients treated with the LED device demonstrated significantly (p<0.05) improved dental implant stability at day 14, day 30 and day 60.

OsseoPulse treatment allows for faster integration of implants and bone regeneration in a safer, effective and non-invasive method. By using the method accelerating bone regeneration around implants, we have transformed the practice of dental implant and oral surgery in dentistry.
Let’s see what our patients have to say about this really effective treatment

Clinical Benefits

OsseoPulse treatment is very effective and has various clinical benefits related to it. Our team of dentist investigators and researchers has carried out many implant surgeries using the OsseoPulse to generated faster integration and loading. Some clinical benefits related to the treatment are:
1. Shortened treatment times and faster integration
2. Minimize early failures due to loss of stability
3. Faster loading
4. Directly accelerate regenerative process of bone
5. Compatible with your existing implant systems
6. Treat single or multiple sites with use of additional treatment array

Practice Management Benefits

OsseoPulse treatment in the dental implant practice has different practice management benefits, which are reported by both practitioners as well as patients.
1. Increase your productivity
2. Differentiate your dental implant practice
3. Shorter treatment times and faster integration can lead to increased case acceptance

Patients Report

Some benefits of the treatment after implant surgery are:
1. Immediately loaded dental implants with provisional
2. Decrease post operative pain
3. Decreased post operative swelling
4. Decreased need for analgesics and anti-inflammatory medications
5. Increased comfort and feeling of well-being
