At an even more uncomfortable end of the dentistry scale is tooth extraction, which often leads to more pain than discomfort.

Enter Trimph, an Australian biomedical startup working to commercialise a range of medical technologies, including its patented TrimphDent, a product to be used to accelerate the healing of hard and soft tissue post tooth extraction.

As Trimph’s cofounder Terence Abrams explained, the technology leverages the company’s “platform polymer technology”, which emerged from cofounder Ali Fathi’s PhD project at the University of Sydney.
