Better patient care that
profits dental professionals.
New standard in care
The current method of diagnosing and monitoring gum disease involves a dental technician poking a pointed metal pick into the gum line to manually measure periodontal pocket depths. This practice is laborious, imprecise and inconsistent and can be painful for patients. Perioscan® is a breakthrough ultrasound technology that transmits sound waves through a wireless, hand-held device that allows dental professionals to quickly, conveniently, consistently and accurately diagnose and monitor periodontal disease. The soft, pliable tip of the Perioscan® device that runs along the patient’s gum line (to read the pocket measurements) also provides a comfortable experience for patients.
Dental practitioner
Dental practices generate less revenue and lower margins than their medical practitioner counterparts. In general, economic and operating dynamics of dental practices cause dental professionals to be cost conscious. This impacts new technology adoption in general and new equipment purchases in particular. Unlike most new technologies, the Perioscan® product and business model allow dental professionals to generate profits many times greater than corresponding Perioscan® costs. This means motivated dental professionals, who view Perioscan® as an opportunity to enhance practice profitability.
Biggest tech since x-ray
Perioscan® is the biggest diagnostic technology breakthrough in the $500 billion global dental services market since the advent of x-rays. While x-rays are currently the dental industry’s most common examination technology, they have little value in diagnosing and monitoring gum disease. As future development continues, it’s expected that the Perioscan® ultrasound technology will eventually provide a safer and friendlier alternative for 75 percent of the x-rays currently used for dental exam purposes.
Patient
The fear of pain, sounds of drills, etc., can cause anxiety for dental patients. One study found half of Americans are afraid of going to the dentist. This fear and anxiety can result in people avoiding dental visits. For its part, Perioscan® takes pain and anxiety completely out of the equation for periodontal exams. Perioscan® exams are fast, convenient and provide an experience that is 100 percent comfortable for patients.
