Problem
Traditional methods of caries detection often rely on X-rays, which expose patients to ionizing radiation and have limited sensitivity, particularly in early stages. Current restorative dental procedures are time-consuming, typically requiring multiple visits and lengthy appointments.
Solution
Perceptive is developing a handheld intraoral scanner that uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) to capture 3D volumetric data of teeth, including below the gum line and under the tooth surface. The scanner achieves high accuracy in caries detection without the use of ionizing radiation. The company is also developing a dental robotics system designed to automate and accelerate restorative procedures, potentially completing treatments like crowns in a single, short visit. The system aims to improve both the speed and precision of dental restorations.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes dentists and dental specialists seeking advanced diagnostic tools and efficient restorative solutions.
