PIOX-Nihon Medica Ltd. was founded on December 14, 1991. At that time, periodontal disease, one of the two major diseases in dentistry, was called alveolar pyorrhea. Its treatment was generally to pull out the teeth and replace them with dentures when they moved lazily. In such a situation, our company was established with the purpose of editing and publishing an educational booklet called “Perio Club” to let people know that their teeth can be preserved if periodontal disease treatment is applied.
Since then, we have been focusing on improving periodontal disease treatment methods, presenting at conferences, submitting papers, and leading the way in obtaining patents for periodontal disease evaluation methods, etc. In 2016, we obtained ethical review from the Japanese Academy of Clinical Periodontology and conducted a five-year clinical study. In 2021, with the release of “PerioPerio”, the application sales division PIOX was established in Nihon Medica Co.
