THE COMPETITIVENESS OF Oraticx PROBIOTICS FOR ORAL HEALTH & TECHNOLOGY
Why OraTicx?

[Adhesive Properties]
According to the results of the clinical trial, which compared probiotics’ adhesive properties, active oraCMU® was still
observed on the surface of oral cavity of 84% of participants, who stopped taking oraCMU® 4 weeks ago.

[Suppression of Bad-Smelling Compounds]
oraCMU® was proved to be the most effective in suppressing VSC and bad breath compared With 4 other probiotic strains.

[Coaggregation with Bacteria Which Cause Oral Diseases]
A comparative study of coaggregation of probiotics with bacteria, which cause oral diseases, found that oraCMU® more
effectively disrupts bacterial activities leading to halitosis and periodontitis and prevents oral diseases than all other
probiotic strains concerned.

[Antibacterial Activities against Bacteria That Cause Halitosis or Periodontitis]
A comparative study of antibacterial activities of probiotics found that oraCMU® is more effective to inhibit growth in
bacteria which cause halitosis and periodontitis than all other probiotic strains concerned.
Our Patented Probiotics

oraCMU® (Weissella cibaria CMU) and oraCMS1® (Weissella cibaria CMS1) are our patented probiotics. Both probiotic strains that promote oral health were isolated from the saliva of 460 kids, who had healthy mouth.

[Low Caries Risk]

A comparative study of PAV of probiotic strains in carbohydrates found that oraCMU® is the least likely to influence the development of dental caries

[Significant Reduction in Plaque]

The clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of probiotic strains in preventing dental caries discovered that oraCMU® has greater inhibitory effects on plaque formation than probiotic strains provided by other companies.

[Inhibition of Plaque Formation by S. Mutans]

A comparative study of probiotic strains’ inhibitory effects on plaque formation by bacteria(S. mutans) that cause dental caries discovered that oraCMU® inhibits plaque formation most efficiently.

Experience the power of our patented oral probiotics. Our scientifically proven solution offers a fundamental way to combat various oral problems

A Combination of Mechanisms of Action

1. Coaggregation of the probiotics

Coaggregation of the probiotics with pathogenic bacteria enables the probiotics to block the adherence of pathogenic bacteria to epithelial cells and teeth and contribute to the elimination of pathogenic bacteria.

2. Suppression of biofilm generation

Bacteria that cause dental caries metabolize and produce sticky substances, which contribute to plaque formation. Inhibit such bacterial activities in the oral cavity, thereby blocking biofilm (tartar or dental plaque) formation.

3. Secretion of 4 antimicrobial substances

Secretes antimicrobial substances such as organic acids, hydrogen peroxide, fatty acids, and bacteriocin outside of cells, thereby inhibiting the growth of bacteria which cause halitosis and periodontitis.

4. Competition with pathogens for binding sites on epithelial cells

Block the adherence of pathogens, which cause halitosis or periodontitis, to epithelial cells, thereby preventing various oral diseases.

5. IInhibition of enzyme activity and gene expression related to VSC production

Inhibit mgl gene expression in P.gingivalis, the bacteria which produce VSC, the main cause of bad breath.
The probiotics also inhibit and block METase activities.

6. The inhibition of formation of substances that promote cellular inflammation

Inhibit the production of substances (NO, IL-1B, and IL-6, all of which promote inflammation) induced by general probiotics for oral health.
