Air Techniques CamX® Spectra Caries Detection Device
Description
The award winning Spectra, is the only caries detection aid providing both color and numerical indications of the extent of the decay. Spectra is a non-invasive caries detection aid that helps eliminate the guesswork in detecting and diagnosing tooth decay and enhances case acceptance through better patient education. Put down the explorer, which has very low sensitivity for caries detection and provide virtually no diagnostic feedback. Moreover, explorers can actually cause damage by breaking enamel rods and causing an iatrogenic cavitation when forced into an incipient carious lesion.
Specifications
- CamX Spectra is the only caries detection aid that works like Doppler radar to discover caries earlier
- NEW sleek design features a 120 degree button ring for added comfort
- Early detection means pinpointing problems at an earlier stage, which traditionally go undetected. This leads to more conservation and less excavation
- Spectra uses fluorescence to detect caries in fissures and smooth surfaces that may go unnoticed in X-ray images
- Caries Detection images reimbursement is recognized more and more by insurance companies. Use these three NEW CDT codes, available and related to Caries Risk Assessment and Documentation for Low, Moderate, and High Risk:D0601, D0602 and D0603.
- Carious regions appear red, while healthy enamel appears green
- After capturing the image within your existing imaging software, the extent of the decay will be interpolated and indicated in two ways:
- 1. The color will be either blue, red, orange or yellow
- 2. A numerical indicator between 0 and 5 will be shown
- No other caries detection aid can do this
- Impressive, information-rich images enhance case acceptance
- Spectra can detect decay hidden between the margins of existing composite and amalgam restorations
- The Doppler radar-like images are easily understood and allow you to clearly show your patients how early intervention helps them
- Spectra guides you through the caries removal process from pre-to post-procedure, ensuring that all carious dentin has been removed
- Can be used to detect Fractured Tooth Syndrome, plaque and caries
- The TWAIN interface allows you to integrate and save the fluoresced images into your patients database
- Store and compare images over time to track the effect of your treatment
- Connects to computer with USB cable
- Weighs only 2.1 ounces
