A new approach that blocks harmful bacteria and protects the microbiome.
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a keystone pathogen in periodontitis. Although present only in small quantities, it influences the entire bacterial balance: it alters the behavior of other bacteria, enhances their pathogenic effects, and weakens the natural defense mechanisms. This results in a persistent inflammatory response that, in the long term, leads to tissue and bone loss – the typical consequences of periodontitis.
"When P. gingivalis appears, the biofilm becomes unbalanced – inflammation and tissue breakdown are the long-term consequences."
Biochemist and CEO at PerioTrap
A stable, diverse oral microbiome is crucial to prevent the dysbiosis caused by P. gingivalis. Beneficial bacteria protect the gums, compete with harmful bacteria, and support a healthy immune response. However, many conventional measures—such as strongly disinfecting mouthwashes—attack all bacteria. This also reduces the beneficial microorganisms, which can further disrupt the balance and provide additional space for pathogenic bacteria.
"The microbiome functions like a protective shield — if gaps appear, pathogens can spread freely."
Pharmacist and CSO at PerioTrap
PerioTrap® technology does not kill bacteria indiscriminately, but rather specifically blocks the disease-causing mechanisms of P. gingivalis . This controls the central disruptive factor in periodontitis while preserving the beneficial oral flora. This precise approach protects the microbiome and supports the natural defense functions of the gums in the long term.
"PerioTrap® eliminates the nuisance without disrupting the natural balance. This precision has been precisely what was previously lacking in gum care."

Less biofilm mass
PerioTrap® reduces the amount of harmful biofilm – an important factor in gum inflammation.
Reduced biofilm activity
The activity of the biofilm is measurably reduced – it becomes less aggressive towards teeth and gums.
-90% tissue invasion
P. gingivalis is much less able to attack the gums. This protects the cells from damage.
-95% inflammatory markers
Inflammatory signals are significantly reduced – a key step for healthy gums.
