exhibitors 11Hinman Dental Meeting — March 28, 2014 By DEXIS Staff n The new CariVu™ , a compact, port- able caries detection device, is creat- ing quite a buzz here at the Hinman DentalMeeting.Ifyouhaveyettostop by the DEXIS booth, No. 1001, to see this new product, then you owe it to yourself to take a look today. DEXIS CariVu uses unique, pat- ented transillumination technology to provide the ability to easily detect a range of carious lesions (occlusal, interproximal,recurrent)andcracks. This new system employs near- infraredlight,which,inimages,turns the natural tooth transparent and the caries dark, similar to radiographs, thus making it a view that is familiar to clinicians. Not only are CariVu images easy to read and understand, they are cap- tured and stored with the patient’s other images in the DEXIS software. Because all intra-oral X-rays, camera andCariVuimagesfortheselecttooth appear side-by-side, the clinician can quickly compare them to make a diagnosis and decide on a course of treatment. These images can also be shared with patients so they may bet- ter understand the need for preven- tive or restorative care. The technology behind CariVu offers an advantage in diagnosis of caries over systems that rely on fluo- rescence reactions, which are typi- cally denoted by colors or numeric values.Inlaboratorytesting,thisnew transillumination device showed the view of the lesions on the images correlated well with their actual physical conditions. With CariVu, the dentist therefore gains a more accu- rateviewoftheactualcariouslesion’s shape and size, not just an indication of the presence of decay.
