The Canary System gains 501(k) clearance from FDA
Quantum Dental Technologies (QDT) has just received its 510(k) clearance from the FDA for The Canary System, which is now for sale in the U.S.
“There is no unit in the world that can do what The Canary System can do,” said Dr. Stephen Abrams, CEO and cofounder of QDT, which develops and manufacturs The Canary System. “With The Canary System, dentists can ’stop watching it’ and begin to detect and treat caries from the earliest lesion to frank cavitation with an accurate system.”
“We’ve been contacted by many dental professionals wanting to know when The Canary System would be available, and we're ready to provide this innovative technology to dental offices across the U.S.,” said Dr. Josh Silvertown, vice president of corporate development.
The Canary System is a low-powered laser-based tool for the detection of early tooth decay. Powered by the energy conversion technology of PTR-LUM, The Canary System uses a novel combination of heat and light to directly examine the crystal structure of teeth and map areas of tooth decay.
The Canary System can detect, map, and monitor carious lesions on any tooth surface, including interproximal lesions. It detects tooth decay along the margins of restorations, including amalgam and composite resins, beneath fissure sealants, and around orthodontic brackets. It detects lesions earlier than X-rays up to 5 mm beneath the tooth surface. The Canary System’s interactive software, printed patient reports, and intraoral camera engage patients in their own oral health care.
