In a recently published study in Journal of Endodontics (June 2008) by Shemesh H et al at the Academic Center for Dentistry in Amsterdam, Holland, showing OCT application in root canal therapy for detecting root fractures before filling the canal, it was concluded that OCT is a promising method for non-destructive imaging of the root surfaces. Earlier published research by the same group, showed that OCT could detect perforations and other possible defects that could affect a successful outcome of root canal therapy.
Lantis Laser said it has exclusive worldwide rights for OCT technology in the $5 Billion dental equipment industry. The technology, which was developed at MIT, is the imaging following the X-ray, ultrasound, and MRI.
Lantis is initially targeting its Dental OCT System for use in the early detection of tooth decay, secondary decay under and around fillings, root surface decay and decay under sealants. However many other applications are surfacing that would indicate that Lantis OCT Dental Imaging System would be deployed in a dental office for many more applications than originally envisaged.
Lantis said its OCT Dental Imaging System enables the dentist to do diagnostic imaging, chairside and in real-time. As the power source is light-based, unlike x-ray there is no harmful radiation. Images can be captured at a resolution of to 10 times that of x-ray, enabling early detection of decay and detailed examination of microstructural defects.
Lantis was formed to commercialize the application of novel technologies in the dental industry. The criteria for selected products include competitive edge, exclusivity and large market potential.
