Looks like a solution looking for a problem.
This new technology would have to be extremely low cost to compete with in-between-teeth brush, toothpaste and electric tooth brush.
However, for potential work inside the body it may have immense potential.

- look at the "fax"... it predates the telephone (but only by a decade or so.. there was a lot longer between the tin and the tin-opener)
