Gum problems negatively affect the quality of life of the young and adult population. To ease these conditions, we formulated a three dimensional biodegradable hydrogel (CentaGel) for the treatment of gum problems and rejuvenating of teeth supporting structures. CentaGel is a unique innovative product with dual action, systematically made to reduce inflammation, boost the immune system and rejuvenate the collagen builds up in the gum. CentaGel contains natural bioactive components of Centella asiatica which is a widely used medicinal plant of South East Asian origin, helps to facilitate the natural healing and recovery of inflamed tissues. CentaGel has won awards at the UiTM IID conference and Nagai-Shukri prize of the Asian Federation for Pharmaceutical Sciences, Tokyo, Japan. CentaGel state-of-the-art prototype is ready for demonstration in an operational environment. This pre-commercialisation activity includes prototype field testing. Product patent approval process is in the final stages at the Intellectual Property Corporation, Malaysia.
