DEXIS™ CariVu™ allows dentists and hygienists to see into your teeth like never before and capture pictures of them for diagnostic review and sharing with you on-screen.
The exam is painless and simple. Flexible arms gently hug the tooth and bathe it in near-infrared light as the built-in camera takes video and still images.
CariVu can be safely used on everyone as often as needed, and because it uses no X-rays, it’s especially beneficial for kids, pregnant women and others who want to avoid radiation.
A potential cavity may be identified sooner which can call for taking preventive measures then monitoring over time to see whether there’s improvement or decline.
CariVu is particularly good for finding a cavity between teeth, even in the early stages. Since its actual size and shape can be seen, treatment can be more targeted.
A cracked tooth can be viewed from multiple angles to reveal the shape and extent of the fracture. This can aid in determining the best course of action.
Images are stored in your patient record and can be compared from visit to visit. They can also be shared with specialists when necessary.
