CARIES CHALLENGE
Take the caries diagnosing challenge
Most dentists will agree that the accurate detection of early caries lesions is highly subjective, and that is because active demineralization and arrested or remineralized lesions both have a similar clinical appearance.
Currently, we rely on visual and tactile information for our clinical assessment of the occlusal and smooth surfaces of the teeth, and whilst radiographs are effective are determining dentinal caries, they don’t provide any information regarding the earlier stages, and whilst reversible.
Can you differentiate between active and inactive lesions?
Dental caries is the most prevalent non-communicable preventable disease in the world.
Calcivis’ world-first bioluminescence technology can eliminate subjectivity by accurately determining the activity status of an early caries lesion. The system captures free calcium ions released in active demineralization.
The clinical confidence gained, as well as high-impact visual images to convey powerful educational messages to the patient, are both positive elements of a modern caries prevention strategy
