Forward Science Hosts Fall 2025 Moving Science Forward Summit

Houston, TX (November 2025) — Forward Science, a vertically integrated MedTech company located in Houston, Texas, hosted its annual Moving Science Forward Clinical DSO Leadership Summit. The event brought together dental leaders from across the country to collaborate, learn, and explore innovative solutions designed to advance clinical care.

This year’s Summit focused on the latest innovation in oral health, PerioStōm. PerioStōm is Forward Science’s newest FDA-cleared product, which utilizes chitosan microsphere technology, to support post-procedural healing and improve patient outcomes. Attendees participated in in-depth sessions focused on the clinical science behind PerioStōm, best practices for implementation, and the product’s potential to elevate outcomes within hygiene programs at dental service organizations across the country.

“This Summit was all about showing how innovation can meaningfully impact clinical outcomes,” said Ellen Myers, BS, RDH, Executive Director of Clinical Affairs and Strategic Markets at Forward Science. “PerioStōm has already shown exciting promise in its ability to deliver exceptional opportunities for broader clinical applications, and our goal was to equip DSO leaders with the science and confidence to bring that impact to their practices.”

Leaders from both large and emerging DSOs shared insights on how they are elevating hygiene programs, integrating new technologies, and improving patient care through collaborative approaches. In addition to PerioStōm, attendees previewed Forward Science’s continued pipeline of innovations, reinforcing Forward Science's commitment to developing science-driven, cost- effective solutions that support dental teams and enhance patient health.

“PerioStōm reflects our commitment to delivering meaningful innovation that directly improves patient care,” said Robert Whitman, CEO of Forward Science. “Our focus has always been on creating cost-effective solutions that empower dental teams, and this Summit showed just how impactful collaboration with our DSO partners can be.”
