Nobio’s Antibacterial Composites Receive FDA 510(k) Clearance for Addressing a Key Process in Tooth Decay

Clinical data show that Infinix composites significantly reduce tooth demineralization.

Kadima, Israel – September 8, 2020 -- Nobio Ltd. today announced it has received an additional FDA 510(k) clearance for the company’s Infinix™ family of dental composites. Clinical data supporting the company’s submission to the FDA demonstrated that Nobio Infinix antibacterial composites significantly reduce tooth demineralization, which is part of the caries-formation (tooth decay) process.

“The data further validates our technology which promises a breakthrough in restorative dentistry improving outcomes for dentists and their patients” said Yoram Ashery, Nobio CEO. Nobio’s Infinix composites incorporate its patented QASiTM particle technology, which has shown long lasting inhibition of bacterial growth at the margins of composite fillings. “Infinix gives dentists a new tool to fight recurrent caries which is the main cause of restoration failure” said Ashery.

Tooth decay is a process, where bacteria generate acids that dissolve teeth by causing demineralization (tooth mineral loss), which leads to cavitated lesions (caries). Recurrent caries, tooth decay that occurs under existing fillings, crowns, or onlays, is a major cause of premature restoration failure.

A clinical study was performed at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to assess Infinix’ s antibacterial activity in slowing and reducing demineralization. This study, completed in March, was led by principal investigator Peter Rechmann, DMD, PhD, professor and director of the Clinical Sciences Research Group at the UCSF School of Dentistry, and President of the American Academy of Cariology. “Our study showed that mineral loss in teeth adjacent to Infinix composites was two-thirds less than for the standard composite material, indicating the potential for less recurrent decay, longer-lasting restorations and less natural tooth loss”, said Dr. Rechmann.

Prof. Ervin Weiss, DMD, Nobio’s CTO and co-founder, and Dean Emeritus of the School of Dentistry of Tel-Aviv University, added, “We believe Infinix is a major advancement for dentistry that will reduce the likelihood of restoration failures due to secondary caries with its associated discomfort and costs.”

Nobio plans to initiate commercial sales of its Infinix product line by the end of this year. Dentists interested in trying Infinix composites can reserve a free Starter Kit at www.Infinix.com.

Nobio’s Infinix Antibacterial Composites Recognized as a 2020 Cellerant Best of Class Technology Award Winner

 

Nobio’s Infinix Antibacterial Composites Recognized as a 2020 Cellerant Best of Class Technology Award Winner

The Award is selected by a panel of the most prominent technology leaders in dentistry.

Kadima, Israel – September 3, 2020 -- Nobio Ltd. today announced that its Infinix family of composites has been selected as a 2020 Cellerant Best of Class Technology Award recipient in the emerging technology category. The Best of Class “Emerging” awards recognize innovative technologies that either define new product categories altogether or stand to challenge established category leadership. The “Emerging” designation is intended to alert the dental community to promising new technologies or companies that have the potential to greatly impact the standard of care in dentistry.

“Announcing the award winners is especially meaningful this year,” said Dr. Lou Shuman, CEO of Cellerant and founder of the Best of Class Technology Awards. "The Chicago Midwinter, where the Best of Class Panel selected the award winners, was really the last in person event for the dental community in 2020. Dentists and their staffs, as well as these companies have overcome many unbelievable challenges since then. So, it’s exciting and uplifting to change the narrative for a moment by recognizing these deserving award winners and sharing these amazing technologies with our colleagues.”

"The idea is simple, while the science is pure genius”, commented Dr. John Flucke, Best of Class panel member, Technology Editor and Chief Dental Editor of Dental Products Report. “Nobio has developed a chemical with antibacterial properties and incorporated it into Infinix composite. Most composite restorations last just 5 to 7 years due to recurrent caries at the restoration/tooth interface. Infinix solves that problem by basically killing any bacteria that comes in contact with the restoration.”

It includes, Dr. John Flucke, Dr. Marty Jablow, Dr. Paul Feuerstein, Dr. Chris Salierno, Dr. Pamela Maragliano- Muniz, and Dr. Lou Shuman. Over the course of each year, the panel members seek out and conduct research on potentially practice-changing technologies, with deliberations on nominees and final voting taking place in February.
