Discover the CamX Spectra Caries Detection Aid
The CamX Spectra Caries Detection Aid revolutionizes the way dental professionals detect and diagnose tooth decay. Harnessing advanced fluorescence technology, this non-invasive tool elevates caries detection, eliminates guesswork, and fosters better patient education and case acceptance. Explore its outstanding features below:
Key Features of CamX Spectra
-
Fluorescence-Based Caries Detection: Utilizes 4 violet LEDs to stimulate metabolic products in cariogenic bacteria, illuminating carious areas in red, while healthy enamel shines in green.
-
Early Caries Detection: Identifies decay in hard-to-see areas, including fissures, smooth surfaces, and beneath composite and amalgam restorations, which are often overlooked by traditional X-rays.
-
Minimized Use of Explorers: Reduces reliance on explorers, which may damage enamel and have lower sensitivity in detecting caries.
-
Enhanced Patient Education: Simplifies communication with patients through easy-to-understand imaging, allowing them to visualize caries and the necessity for early intervention.
-
Tracks Treatment Progress: Offers reliable documentation for monitoring caries over time, aiding dentists and patients in navigating the treatment process effectively.
-
Guided Caries Removal: Ensures all carious dentin is effectively removed, minimizing the risk of leaving untreated decay behind.
-
Color-Coded and Numerical Display: The imaging software features a color scale indicating varying levels of caries activity, with a numerical score from 0 to 5 to represent decay extent.
Benefits of Early Detection
-
Conservation of Healthy Tissue: Identifies caries at an early stage, promoting the preservation of tooth structure and reducing the need for extensive excavation.
-
Insurance Reimbursement: Caries detection images are increasingly recognized by insurance companies, allowing for submissions using CDT codes D0601, D0602, and D0603 for caries risk assessment and documentation.
Additional Specifications
-
Handpiece Dimensions: 7.5" x 1.0" (LxD)
-
Video Output: USB 2.0 for seamless integration with digital imaging systems.
The CamX Spectra Caries Detection Aid empowers dental professionals to detect and treat caries sooner, enhancing patient outcomes and improving case acceptance through clear, comprehensible imagery and data.
