Research Finds The Canary System Accurately Measures Caries Lesion Volume and Depth

 Research Finds The Canary System Accurately Measures Caries Lesion Volume and Depth

The Open Dentistry Journal recently published a study that finds The Canary System from Quantum Dental Technologies accurately measures caries lesion volume and depth.

The study, titled “Correlation with caries lesion depth of The Canary System, DIAGNOdent and ICDAS II,” found the system measures caries lesion depth more accurately than visual examination using ICDAS II ranking or DIAGNOdent, according to a press release.

The above image, which was included in the study, shows a typical white spot on a tooth surface. There is no black or brown stain and the tooth surface is intact. The Canary System measurement of 55 indicated a large lesion was beneath the enamel surface.  When cross-sectioned and examined under the microscope, this simple white spot was up to .5 mm. in depth in certain areas, yet the surface appeared intact. 

The caries detection device can measure lesion volume and depth as well as subtle changes over time. It features crystal structure diagnostics that enable it to quantify, image, monitor and record changes in the structure of enamel, dentin and cementum. It can detect caries beneath opaque sealants, around the margins of restorations, around orthodontic brackets and beneath interproximal, occlusal and smooth surfaces.
