This is a medical device.The DEXIS CariVu 3-in-1 by KaVo is indicated as an aid for detection of frank or incipient caries lesions above the gum line, and for monitoring the progression of such lesions.
An assembly of mains electricity (AC-powered) devices intended to apply ultrasonic oscillations to: 1) mechanically fragment and dislodge gross debris in the dental pulp canal during an endodontic procedure; and/or 2) remove accretions from tooth surfaces during dental cleaning/periodontal therapy. The system typically consists of a generator with controls (e.g., foot-switch) that produces and controls high frequency electric current, and may provide fluid irrigation; a handpiece used to convert the energy to ultrasonic oscillations; and a tip(s) intended to apply the oscillations to the procedure site; tip selection typically affects the intended application (endodontic vs periodontal).
