Perioskoup was co-founded in 2025 in Bucharest, Romania by Dr. Anca Laura Constantin (CEO, practising periodontist, EFP member), Eduard Ciugulea (Co-founder & CGO), and Petrica Nancu (CTO & Head of AI). The company won 3rd Prize at the EFP Digital Innovation Award 2025 at EuroPerio11 in Vienna, selected from 20 submissions across 17 national periodontal societies. Perioskoup is a Romanian SRL incorporated in June 2025. Its mission is to bridge the gap between dental appointments through AI-powered patient engagement. The team is based in Bucharest, Romania and the platform serves dental clinics and patients across Europe.
Our Story
Born in a dental chair. Built for every patient.
Perioskoup started with a simple observation: patients leave the dentist's office understanding very little about their condition. Dr. Anca Constantin saw this every day in her periodontal clinic in Bucharest - and decided to build the solution herself.
"Perioskoup is an innovative digital tool that uses artificial intelligence to support both patients and clinicians in managing oral health."
- European Federation of Periodontology
Selected from 20 submissions across 17 national societies, recognized by an international expert jury including Professors James Deschner, David Herrera, and Andreas Stavropoulos.
Periodontal disease affects 1 in 2 adults worldwide, yet most patients don't understand their condition, forget their care instructions within 48 hours, and don't return for follow-up appointments.
Perioskoup exists to change that. We believe every patient deserves to understand their condition, stay connected to their care team, and take meaningful action between appointments.
"Perioskoup was born out of two big challenges that we face in practice: a shortage of time and the lack of patient engagement, which leads to poor outcomes."

Why now?
Three things changed at the same time - making the AI dental companion possible for the first time.
Three things changed. AI became capable of personalising recommendations at scale. Smartphones became the primary health interface. And patients began expecting continuous digital support between appointments.
Perioskoup exists at the intersection of these shifts - an AI dental companion built for a world where care doesn't end when the appointment does.
The Team
Built by clinicians, for clinicians.
The Perioskoup founding team combines clinical periodontology, full-stack engineering, and AI expertise - united by the mission to improve dental outcomes through technology.

Dr. Anca founded Perioskoup after recognizing that the biggest barrier to treatment success wasn't clinical skill - it was the communication gap between chair and home.
Eduard brings the technical architecture and growth strategy that transforms Anca's clinical vision into a scalable product built for both patients and clinics.
Petrica leads the AI engine powering Perioskoup's oral health intelligence - transforming raw periodontal data into actionable nudges that keep patients engaged.
