Quantum Dental Technologies' Canary System can detect dental erosion, according to an independent study presented at the recent 2016 American Association of Dental Research (AADR) meeting in Los Angeles.
There is a significant relationship between surface tooth loss and an increase in the system's Canary number, according to researchers from the University of Colorado, Denver School of Dental Medicine. They studied whether the Canary System can be used to track erosion and used citric acid to create lesions on extracted human premolars.
"Visual examination does not provide clinicians with any means of early detection of measuring tooth tissue loss," stated Stephen Abrams, president of Quantum Dental Technologies, in a press release "Evidence from this study suggests that erosion can now be effectively measured and monitored with the Canary System."
