Lantis Laser device gets unique privileges to NIR imaging

The technological innovation is the topic of a certain awaiting program and was investigated and designed over the last five years under the route of Daniel Fried, Ph.D., a lecturer of biomaterials and bioengineering in the division of precautionary and regenerative oral care at the University of Florida, San Francisco University of Dentistry.

"NIR picture is the most ideal technological innovation to include with Lantis' OCT oral picture program, currently under growth, as it can be used to display for corrosion and problems in tooth, and OCT can then be used to acquire more specific microstructural details to aid in analytic choices," said Stan Baron, chief executive and CEO of Lantis, in an argument.

OCT can produce pictures of both gum area and tooth, while NIR can only be used to picture tooth above the cuboid line, the company said.

Research indicates that NIR picture as a testing method provides considerably more details, particularly on the occlusal (biting) areas, than currently used x-ray (digital or conventional), included Todd Gimbel, D.D.S., medical home at Lantis.

"We have been aware of the advantages of NIR technological innovation for some time and latest enhancements in indicator technological innovation now make commercialization possible, at an financial cost," Dr. Gimbel said in the news launch. "We feel that we have achieved the point where the full prospective of light-based analytic picture technological innovation can now be utilized to make extremely innovative and cost-effective analytic picture methods for oral care."

Lantis desires the NIR picture program to be over the counter available truly. It will be incorporated with the organization's OCT oral picture program and be available as a separate program.
