Sunstar has been collaborating with and sending researchers to
the State University of New York at Buffalo, renowned for its

products.

Since 1990s, Sunstar has held international symposia around theworld on the link between periodontal disease and diabetes, andcontinued to recognize and fund advanced research on the link
between periodontal disease and systemic disease. We are also

care in disasters, as well as the prevention of oral frailty, acondition in which deterioration of oral function accelerates theaging process. As part of these efforts, we are developing
solutions that will help people lead healthier lives based on thelatest research.
