manadental is designed for those who want to improve their oral hygiene in a targeted and comprehensive way. It is especially beneficial for people who actively invest in their health and understand that brushing alone is often not enough to eliminate plaque. Plaque is the leading cause of gum inflammation.
manadental effectively removes even hidden plaque, strengthens the gums, and provides a reliable foundation for long-term oral health through photodynamic cleaning.
manadental is a cosmetic product and a personal care item. It is not a medical device and does not replace regular dental check-ups.
manadental ensures reliable oral hygiene – for a truly clean mouth. The photodynamic cleaning eliminates plaque left behind after brushing.
How the effect manifests:
- 49.4% healthier and more resilient gums – noticeably after just four weeks, thanks to the effective photodynamic cleaning.
- Confidence that your mouth is thoroughly cleaned and will remain healthy in the long term.
- Significantly smoother tooth feel after the first use.
- A noticeably cleaner mouth feel after just a few uses.
Did you know?
The most common cause of bad breath is bacteria left behind after regular brushing. Improved cleaning also leads to fresher breath.
01. Rinse thoroughly with the manadental liquid for 2 minutes to stain the bacteria on your teeth.
Your Mana comes with a 2-minute rinse timer. Once the rinse is complete, the manadental light will gently illuminate. Spit out the manadental liquid and place the manadental light loosely in your mouth. After 30 seconds, the light intensity will increase, and the cleaning process will begin.
02. 5 minutes of cleaning with the manadental light.
The light will specifically target and eliminate the stained bacteria. The manadental light has a 5-minute application timer and will automatically turn off once the time is up.
03. Afterwards, brush your teeth as usual.
For optimal results:
We recommend using the system every other day and incorporating it into your routine at the same time each day (morning or evening). This will help make the Mana routine a consistent part of your day and allow you to achieve the best results with your Mana.
For sustainable results, we recommend using manadental every other day. Bacteria take about 48 hours to reattach and harden into plaque. Regular use every two days helps prevent stubborn bacterial buildup and ensures long-term oral health protection.
Yes, the product warranty is valid for 12 months from the invoice date.
No, manadental does not replace brushing your teeth twice a day. The mechanical removal of plaque and bacteria with a toothbrush remains an essential part of your daily oral care routine.
No, accidentally swallowing a small amount of the liquid is not harmful, as it contains only well-tolerated ingredients. However, we advise against drinking the liquid, as larger quantities could cause temporary digestive issues and stomach discomfort.
As certain oral diseases can be contagious, we recommend not sharing manadental with others.
The mana mouthpiece is designed based on the average of numerous dental scans. If you’re an adult without any unusual dental characteristics, mana should fit you comfortably.
manadental is recommended for individuals 18 years and older, as the jaw should be fully developed for a comfortable and effective application. The mouthpiece is designed based on the average size of adult dental arches.
efficacy.
The manadental working principle is based on antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), where bacteria are marked with special dyes and then selectively eliminated through light exposure.
With manadental, this proven technology from dental medicine is now introduced into daily oral care at home: When rinsing, riboflavin (Vitamin B2) penetrates the plaque, and the dental light eliminates the dyed deposits. Residual dye is removed during brushing.
This effectively reduces plaque buildup and prevents its regrowth, ensuring long-term healthy teeth and gums.
Yes, the thorough rinsing with manadental liquid stains bacteria even in the interdental spaces. The light emits broadly and with high intensity, reaching even hard-to-access areas where bacteria have been marked by the mana liquid.
Larger debris, such as food particles, is not removed by the manadental application.
The most common cause of bad breath is bacteria that remain after conventional brushing. A more thorough cleaning also helps improve breath freshness.
Cleaning occurs precisely where the stained bacteria are reached by light of a specific intensity. Put simply: the farther a stained bacterium or plaque is from the light source, the weaker the antibacterial effect.
The liquid itself has no bactericidal properties, which means manadental acts specifically at the tooth surface and gumline, without affecting the entire oral cavity. This allows for the targeted elimination of low-diversity (unhealthy) plaque formations, while preserving the healthy microbiome in the rest of the mouth. As a result, beneficial bacteria can thrive, supporting the restoration of a diverse and balanced oral microbiome.
Yes. The manadental light is based on extensive scientific research that confirms both the effectiveness and safety of the application. All study materials are available here and can also be accessed on our website under the “studies” section.
No, the photodynamic effect of manadental relies on the precise alignment between the dye contained in the manadental liquid (Vitamin B2) and the specific light wavelength of the manadental light device. Other mouthwashes do not meet these criteria—therefore, the intended photodynamic cleaning effect cannot be achieved.

Currently, there is a free trial campaign for dentists in Austria and Germany. Each dental practice can order up to two test products. It is important that at least one of the products is tested by a dentist themselves. The second product can be tested by a patient or a dental hygienist. Participation in the trial campaign requires agreement to a final feedback discussion via Microsoft Teams.

In an in-vivo study investigating the effect of manadental on gum bleeding tendency (BoP), a modified version of the Ainamo & Bay method was used. This method records the number of bleeding tooth surfaces in relation to the total number of probed teeth, improving the robustness of the measurement. A WHO probe calibrated to 0.2 N was used to minimize examiner bias.
Results: The control group (KG) showed a 19.5% reduction in bleeding tendency, while the application group (A2G), which used the product every other day, achieved a highly significant reduction of 49.4% (p = 0.0053).
Yes, of course. We highly value the collaboration with dentists who, beyond in-practice treatment, want to help their patients maintain long-term oral health. manadental offers a scientifically backed and effective solution that serves as a valuable addition to your patients’ daily oral hygiene routine.

The dental light operates within the wavelength range of 420 nm to 790 nm, emitting only visible light – the exact range that the human eye can perceive. UV and infrared radiation are not emitted by manadental.
The light used during the recommended application is neither harmful to health in the short term nor in the long term.

No, the manadental liquid only works in combination with the manadental tooth light. Without the targeted light exposure, no cleaning occurs. This is intentional: the goal is not to eliminate all bacteria in the oral cavity, but to specifically target and remove those that are stained by the liquid and then exposed to light of sufficient intensity. In this way, manadental enables a precise cleaning along the dental arch, while the rest of the oral microbiome remains undisturbed.
After using the tooth light, rinse the device with water or mild soap and gently dry it. Avoid using abrasive sponges to prevent scratches. It is crucial that the charging contacts on the device are thoroughly dry before placing it on the charger.
Yes, manadental is waterproof and can even be used in the shower.
IMPORTANT: Always dry the device after use—ensure the charging contacts are completely dry before connecting it to the charger.
