Calcivis® is a non-invasive and pain-free diagnostic tool that is safe and effective for use in adults and pediatric patients age six and up. Detect the early demineralization that happens before a cavity has a chance to develop!

A recent study found that patients who were prescribed Prevident 5000 fluoride spent, on average, 48% less on restorative dentistry. Is this a good thing for dentists? According to Dr. Joshua Austin, it definitely is. Although the patients in the study spent less on restorative procedures, they were happier and had more visits with less bad news and referred approximately 20% more patients than those who were not prescribed Prevident.

According to a 2017 article in 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘋𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵 by Kim Miller, RDH, BSDH, common benchmarks of a successful hygiene department include generating 25-30% of gross practice production and identifying 75% of restorative needs during hygiene visits.

The CALCIVIS® Imaging System is a chairside tool that can help engage your patients in their own preventive care by providing powerful visual imagery of the demineralization that occurs in teeth 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 a cavity develops.

Thinking about orthodontic treatment for you or a family member? Be sure you have your hygiene in order! A recent study published in the June 2024 issue of 𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘖𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 examined the long-term associations between caries and white spot lesions (WSL) and orthodontic appliances. They found that patients who already had caries experience at the beginning of orthodontic treatment were more than twice as likely to develop WSL than those without caries experience.

A recent article in 𝘋𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘌𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘴 by Dr. Gordon Christensen answers the question of why there is such a high emphasis on techniques and concepts that are at the end of the life cycle of teeth, and whether more emphasis should be placed on preventing the conditions necessitating complex treatments.

The real-time, chairside technology of the CALCIVIS® Imaging System allows you to actively and visually engage your patients in crucial conversations about their oral healthcare.
• The essential elements of the CALCIVIS® Imaging System work together to accurately detect early activity associated with the development of carious lesions.
• The natural bioluminescent properties of photoproteins generate a light signal in the presence of the free calcium ions (Ca2+) which are released during active demineralization.
• No other approach provides the ability to instantly observe active, ongoing demineralization with your patients in real time.
