Description
The Canary System is a low-powered laser that allows for early detection of caries and defects in the tooth's crystal structure not yet discernible on x-rays or by visual examination. It can detect decay on smooth enamel surfaces, root surfaces, occlusal surfaces, interproximal regions, under sealants, and around existing amalgam or composite fillings. The Canary can detect lesions as small as 50 microns up to 5 mm below the tooth surface; it can also detect cracks in enamel.
A Canary exam provides audible and visual numeric measurements of tooth structure that engages the patient and helps them to understand the rationale for a proposed treatment plan. As a carious lesion grows, the Canary number increases; with remineralization or appropriate restorative treatment, the Canary number decreases.
Over 60 papers published in peer-reviewed journals demonstrate Canary's ability to detect and monitor carious lesions and cracks in teeth.
