CaviSense Introduces 10-Second, Radiation-Free Test for Early Caries Risk at Yankee Dental Congress

CaviSense, a Harvard/Tufts spin out is a developer of an innovative radiation-free technology for identifying tooth specific caries risk by detection of active tooth surface demineralization, will make its official Yankee Dental Congress debut from January 29–February 1, at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.

Located at Booth #2132, CaviSense will offer complimentary 10-second chairside demonstrations of its novel localized diagnostic sensor, which enables clinicians to identify early enamel demineralization that may not be visible on traditional radiographs or through visual inspection. 

“Radiographs remain essential, but when it comes to early caries detection they are not providing enough information. They show defects after they have already happened and are not completely safe” said Dr. Gili Naveh, company founder and the inventor of CaviSense. “Caries is a multifactorial pH disease, which requires pH related diagnostics, CaviSense helps clinicians see early demineralization that other techniques can’t, so they can intervene sooner, preserve healthy tooth structure and benefit their patients.”

Designed for easy integration into hygiene and preventive workflows, CaviSense measures demineralization conducive environment on a tooth surface using proprietary pH sensor technology with 98% accuracy.

“Caries management begins with early, targeted risk assessment,” said Brian Nový, DDS, Harvard lecturer, practicing dentist and current President of the National CAMBRA (Caries Management by Risk Assessment) Coalition. “CaviSense is an effective and powerful tool that enables me to  identify tooth surfaces susceptible to caries, which increases my chances of successfully managing and controlling the disease before the tooth cavitates, with technology I can place in the hands of parents and patients alike.”

“CaviSense enables me to identify cavity risk before there’s visible damage,” says Adam Silevitch, DMD, a leading pediatric dentist. “By measuring early acid activity, I can focus on prevention; implementing proactive, minimally invasive treatment strategies tailored to each child’s needs and often avoiding the need for traditional restorative procedures.”

Throughout the Yankee meeting, attendees are invited to stop by Booth #2132 for a free CaviSense test, speak with the company’s clinical and product specialists, and enter to win a six-month supply of CaviSense test kits.

“Early detection is the foundation of modern caries management,” said Dr. Naveh. “By identifying high-risk sites before cavitation occurs, clinicians can shift from restorative treatment to true disease prevention.”
