Calcivis provides an imaging system that enables the assessment and management of demineralization associated with dental caries and erosion.
ProblemHealthcare
"Tooth decay is a common problem that can lead to pain, infection, and tooth loss. Current methods for detecting and managing tooth decay are often unreliable and time-consuming."
Solution
"Calcivis has developed an imaging system that uses a proprietary technology to visualize calcium ions released from demineralizing tooth surfaces. This allows dentists to detect and monitor tooth decay in real-time, enabling them to develop personalized treatment plans and prevent further damage."
