CarieScan PRO

The CarieScan PRO offers the earliest possible detection of caries. This unique device provides accurate and repeatable data to monitor caries over time, enabling timely preventive treatment and support for evidence-based care plans. The CarieScan PRO is the first dental diagnostic tool to use ACIST (AC Impedance Spectroscopy Technology) to quantify dental caries, measuring changes in tooth mineral density. It is simple to use, pain free, automatically calibrated and Bluetooth enabled.

With an accuracy level of 94.8% in detecting caries and healthy tooth structure, the CarieScan PRO is quite simply the most accurate caries detection device ever produced! That means greater confidence for you and peace-of-mind for your patients. The CarieScan PRO reduces the need for potentially harmful X-rays, which saves both time and costs. It utilizes a measurement method called the AC Impedance Spectroscopy technique. This method relies on the application of a small alternating electrical signal (undetectable by the patient) through the tooth while monitoring the response at the sensor. By changing frequency of the applied signal, a spectrum is captured which provides valuable insights into the physical and chemical properties of the tooth.

Designed and manufactured in the UK, The CarieScan PRO quickly and easily identifies both decay and healthy tooth structure. The PRO boasts a combined accuracy rate (taken from both sensitivity and specificity) of 94.8%, and takes less than a second per tooth to provide a reading.

Easy for both patient and clinician to understand, the device provides a numerical reading for each site analysed, supplemented by a colour and high, medium or low reading. Multiple readings can be taken per tooth for incredible accuracy. Each reading provided directly related to a sliding scale of probability categories, all of which have specific advice that supports dentists’ judgment in in determining caries treatment and interventions with a tangible numerical value.

The CarieScan PRO is quite simply the most accurate caries detection device ever produced. That means greater confidence for you and peace-of-mind for your patients.
