Sunstar Launches Global Institute on Oral-Systemic Health Research
Etoy, Switzerland – November 04, 2026 -- Sunstar, the Japanese-founded oral healthcare company, has launched the Sunstar Mouth-to-Body Health Institute, a global research body built to test how oral health affects disease elsewhere in the body, after more than 40 years of funding oral-systemic research.
Institute links dentistry, medicine and public health under one research platform
The Institute will bring together researchers, clinicians and scientific leaders from dentistry, medicine, microbiology, immunology, nutrition, behavioural science and public health. Its initial research covers periodontal health science, the oral microbiome and the connection between oral health and overall health.
A Global Scientific Advisory Board will provide scientific guidance and oversight, supported by Institute members from multiple disciplines.
