There have been some intriguing studies associating the oral microbiome with systemic diseases such as cardiovascular indications, diabetes, oral cancers, and neurological diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Some studies even suggest causal links between pathogens that reside in the mouth and arterial plaque and even neurodegeneration.

With the Bristle platform, we will have the resolution to dive deeper into these associations, and potentially improve patient outcomes through targeting the oral microbiome.
