PERFECT SMILE CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES CLINICAL STUDY ON THE
EFFECT OF TOOTHPASTE CONTAINING
CoQ10 IN TREATING GINGIVITIS
Cleveland, Ohio,
November 30, 2006…Perfect
Smile Corporation announced
today that it is sponsoring a
double-blind clinical study at
the Case Western Reserve
University Dental School. The
study titled “The Effect of a
Toothpaste Containing Coenzyme
Q10 in the Treatment of
Gingivitis”, is under the
direction of Dr. Nabil Bissada,
Professor and Chair of the
Department of Periodontics.
Patient enrollment began in
early Summer and achieved full
enrollment of 100 patients
within 90 days. Completion of
the clinical portion of the
study will occur in February
2007 and the analysis and
publication of results will be
available soon thereafter.
Gerald Patera,
Perfect Smile Corporation’s
C.E.O. stated “we look forward
to the completion of the study
and are very optimistic that the
results will demonstrate the
superior benefits of toothpaste
containing our proprietary
MicroActive® CoQ10 Complex in
the treatment of individuals
afflicted with gingivitis. We
have considerable anecdotal
evidence from individuals who
have used our toothpaste
containing CoQ10 who have
experienced significant
improvement in their oral health
and we are confident that the
quantifiable scientific data
from the university clinical
study will validate the efficacy
of our toothpaste in treating
gingivitis and other types of
gum disease.”
As previously
announced, Perfect Smile
acquired an exclusive license to
use MicroActive® CoQ10 Complex
in oral care applications.
MicroActive CoQ10 Complex is
produced under a patented
process, and laboratory studies
utilizing human gingival cells
demonstrate superior
bioavailability as compared to
standard forms of CoQ10.
Numerous clinical studies have
previously demonstrated that
topically applied standard CoQ10
can create improvements in
patients with gum disease.
Perfect Smile
has incorporated MicroActive
CoQ10 Complex along with xylitol
and vitamin C in all of its oral
care products under the
trademark “Q-litol™”. Perfect
Smile's product line containing
Q-litol includes fluoride and
fluoride-free toothpastes,
alcohol-free mouth rinse, and
chewing gums in mint and
cinnamint flavors. Perfect Smile
expects to add additional
products in the future and is
preparing to launch its Q-litol
products in a nationally
televised infomercial campaign
in the first quarter of 2007.
