DUNDEE, Scotland – May 15, 2012 – The CarieScan PRO is revolutionizing the way dentists detect caries in their patients. With a 94.8-percent accuracy rate in detecting hidden caries, it is the most reliable and precise detection tool in industry. The PRO not only indicates when restoration of a tooth is required, but also specifically locates the lesion, allowing restorations (fillings) to be as small and cosmetically acceptable as possible.
Now, dentists taking advantage of this technology will get another benefit – six boxes of free sensors, a $500 value. CarieScan is offering this benefit for dental professionals that purchase a CarieScan PRO from Dec. 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012.
“Detecting dental caries lesions continues to be one of the biggest challenges facing most dental practitioners,” said Craig Simpson, CarieScan’s Head of Sales and Marketing “It is often missed by even the most careful dental professionals using conventional methods of detection. Now, the industry-leading accuracy and reliability of the CarieScan PRO is proving invaluable to dentists, and with this great promotion, our customers can take advantage of this precise technology while getting the added benefit of six free boxes of sensors.”
The CarieScan PRO allows patients and dentists to benefit from a much quicker and more comfortable experience as a result of a functionality upgrade which increases the speed of measurements. Each measurement now takes less than a second, down from five seconds on the previous version. Additionally the classification reading of the 0-100 scale has also been further simplified into High, Medium and Low (H,M,L) probability categories, with specific advice for each identified category to help the dentist with caries treatment and intervention support.
The CarieScan PRO registers seven times fewer false positives than its closest competitor, minimizing the potential to drill on healthy teeth. It reduces the need for X-rays and provides quantifiable and repeatable output to allow for ongoing patient monitoring and an increase in repeat preventive treatments. The ease of use allows preparatory work to be done by hygienists saving time and money.
