Past Great Oral Health Pitch Events

2024 – 2025 Great Oral Health Pitch Events

Finalists:

Dr. João Guilherme Medeiros, The Bright Smile Adventure
Greater New York Dental Meeting Event Winner

Dr. João Guilherme Medeiros is a dental surgeon and researcher who specializes in dental forensics and technical reporting. He provides personalized clinical care and is dedicated to bridging the fields of dentistry and law through his work in legal dentistry.

The Bright Smile Adventure is a gamified solution designed to encourage children to brush their teeth effectively. Leveraging electric toothbrushes equipped with advanced 3D technology, the game maps a child’s brushing in real time, providing feedback on areas needing more attention and highlighting spots already brushed thoroughly.

Adrian Fin, KiDDY CAPS
Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting Event Winner

Adrian Fin is a globally awarded strategist, creative director, and three-time startup founder who has mentored hundreds of entrepreneurs in launching successful ventures across healthcare and technology. He is now applying his experience, aiming to improve oral health equity for millions of underserved children.

KiDDY CAPS / ZircoThin™️ is the world’s first mass-produced, ultra-thin, tooth-colored zirconia crown for children, designed for affordability and cost efficiency. Radically easier to use with less prep and faster placement – often without the need for any anesthesia – these crowns make high-quality ceramic restorations accessible to all kids, not just those from wealthier families.
