The Canary System uses low-powered, laser-based 'Energy Conversion Technology' to examine the crystal structure of teeth. It can detect lesions as small as 50 µm and up to 5 mm below the tooth surface. A dual-purpose device, the Canary is also an intraoral camera. The system allows clinicians to detect decay in areas where x-ray is not always effective (e.g., around and beneath intact margins of restorations, occlusal pits, beneath sealants, around orthodontic brackets, incipient lesions on smooth surfaces, and cracks). The Canary is also the ideal diagnostic alternative for patients who object to radiographs. During the examination, the Canary voice gives instant feedback on the status of the tooth surface being examined. Simple, clear measurements that identify changes in crystal structure help the patient to understand caries. The Canary Report allows the dental team to educate patients on ways to decrease their Canary Numbers and improve their oral health; it can also be used to discuss the treatment plan.
