Bamboo Mouth Mirror with Probe

Current Stage of Innovation

TRL

  • • Bamboo mouth mirror and probe offer standard functionality—indirect vision, tissue retraction, reflection, and periodontal probing.
    • Lightweight, non-rusting, and biodegradable.
    • Eco-friendly and highly cost-efficient with simple fabrication.
    • Prototype successfully developed and demonstrated.

  • Conventional dental tools and accessories, such as mirrors, scalers, and disposable instruments, are commonly made from stainless steel and plastic materials. While these materials ensure durability and sterility, they also contribute significantly to environmental pollution due to their non-biodegradable nature. The frequent disposal of plastic-based dental products, including suction tips, syringes, and cups, adds to biomedical waste, much of which ends up in landfills or incinerators, releasing harmful toxins. Additionally, the high manufacturing and sterilization costs associated with metal instruments increase the overall expense for dental clinics, especially in resource-limited settings. As sustainability becomes a global priority, the dental industry faces growing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint. This has created a strong demand for eco-friendly, biodegradable materials that can replace traditional plastics and metals without compromising hygiene or performance. Such alternatives could significantly cut waste, lower costs, and promote greener dental practices.
