  1. CALCIVIS IMAGING SYSTEM Who are CALCIVIS? CALCIVIS is an innovative UK dental biologic and device manufacturer focused on revolutionising treatment of tooth decay and enabling preventive dentistry. Headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland, CALCIVIS brings world-class development and business management expertise to a sector eager to reduce reliance on costly, complex and painful surgical interventions. CALCIVIS photoprotein At the heart of the CALCIVIS imaging system is the CALCIVIS photoprotein; a dental biologic which produces light when it reacts with free calcium ions released on actively demineralising tooth surfaces. CALCIVIS photoprotein is similar to that which certain marine organisms create to produce bioluminescence in the ocean. Web: www.calcivis.com Tel: +44 (0) 131 658 5152

  2. When CALCIVIS photoprotein contacts free calcium ions, such as those found on actively demineralising tooth surfaces, a very short, low-level flash of light (luminescence) is created which is undetectable by the naked eye. Luminescence is different to fluorescence: the reflection of a light by a substance that has had another light energy shone on it. Unique to CALCIVIS imaging system the resulting luminescence occurs only in the presence of free calcium (bound calcium in sound enamel does not generate the light signal) meaning that CALCIVIS delivers a predictable result with low or no false positives. CALCIVIS imaging device The CALCIVIS imaging device is a specialised device designed exclusively to image the tooth surface after delivering a metered dose of CALCIVIS photoprotein. Initiated via a “one touch” computer controlled process, a specialized sensor integrated into the device immediately detects the resulting luminescence (light flash). In less than 1 second, bespoke software presents a chair side demineralization “hot-spot” image map to clinicians, enabling informed and efficient dialogue with patients.
