The study will be conducted at the German Medical Institute in Limassol, Cyprus, and will enroll approximately 15 to 20 participants aged 18 years or older.\n\nEligible participants must be currently wearing fixed orthodontic appliances and able to provide informed consent. Exclusion criteria include recent antibiotic use, active oral infections, immunocompromised status, or systemic conditions that may affect oral flora.\n\nAfter providing written informed consent, participants will undergo baseline oral swab collection from gingival areas and around orthodontic brackets on the upper second premolars. A trained research technician or nurse will then apply the NeoPill device for a standardized duration of 30 seconds, ensuring consistent positioning and technique across participants. Immediately following device application, a second oral swab will be collected from the same anatomical sites.\n\nBoth swab samples will be transported under controlled conditions to an accredited microbiology laboratory at the German Medical Institute, where aerobic culturing will be performed to quantify colony-forming units (CFUs). The primary outcome measure is the difference in CFU counts between pre- and post-intervention samples. Statistical analysis will be conducted using a Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with a significance threshold of p \\\u003C 0.05.\n\nFollowing sample collection, participants will complete a structured questionnaire assessing comfort, usability, perceived experience, and willingness to use the NeoPill device regularly. Questionnaire data and laboratory results will be linked using study-specific identifiers and stored securely within a GDPR-compliant digital platform.\n\nThe study involves minimal risk to participants, limited primarily to temporary discomfort during swab collection or device use. No chemical agents or systemic interventions are involved. All data will be pseudonymised prior to analysis, and only anonymised results will be shared with the device manufacturer.",[28],{"label":29,"type":30,"description":31,"interventionNames":32},"NeoPill Device Intervention","EXPERIMENTAL","Participants in this single-arm study receive a single standardized 30-second application of the NeoPill oral hygiene device.
