Prevention.
Illuminated.
Accurately detect the demineralization activity of carious lesions in the early stages of development.
A novel and uniquely visual technology that enables the preventive management of demineralization associated with dental caries.
Dental decay (caries) is the most prevalent disease in the world affecting 35% of the global population.
And it’s preventable.
A vision intelligently applied to dentistry
Eliminate waiting for a carious lesion to progress in your practice. In addition to initial detection, the system becomes a monitoring tool for assessing demineralization associated with caries lesions following treatment and care.
Diagnose before the damage is irreversible.
Bring a new level of preventive dentistry, chairside.
Discover a breakthrough so visual in nature that patients can actually see the early stages of dental caries – and become empowered in their treatment.
Where Nature & Technology Meet
By tapping the amazing bioluminescent properties of photoproteins, the CALCIVIS® Imaging System allows you to accurately detect the demineralization activity of carious lesions in the early stages of development.
An Advanced Chairside Caries Assessment
The CALCIVIS® Imaging System offers an objective assessment of demineralization in real time. Conventional caries detection and diagnostic aids that rely heavily on subjective assessment can miss up to 70% of pre-cavitated caries lesions.5
The CALCIVIS® Imaging System offers key benefits for you and your patient:
Effective on occlusal, labial, buccal and lingual surfaces
Secondary caries around restorations or sealants
Early diagnosis enables you and your patient to make a decision on the best treatment option for their dental caries.
Next-level care that’s accurate, rapid and pain-free
The CALCIVIS® Imaging System is a significant advance in preventive dentistry that allows your patients to visualize early signs of active decay during routine exams.
This novel technology gives you the opportunity to arrest or reverse demineralization before tissue destruction has occurred.
