Lantis Laser, Inc. (LLSR. PK) develops and commercializes advanced technologies for the dentistry industry. The Company has exclusive rights to the application of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technology for dental diagnostic imaging through its license agreements with LightLab Imaging and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
The “OCT Dental Imaging System”, a product of Lantis, is in its second phase. The System has an unprecedented high resolution of up to 10 times that of traditional dental x-rays. The new system is designed to provide early detection of tooth decay, periodontal disease and microstructural defects in teeth. These early detections allow dentists to promptly halt or even reverse the progress of the disease using minimally invasive procedures. Ultimately, the new system improves outcomes and enhances the quality of patient care.
Lantis’s OTC recently won the “2007 Best of What’s New” award in the Popular Science Magazine defeating thousands of entries to be one of the top 100 Editor’s picks. The OCT Dental Imaging System utilizes an innovative, safe, non-invasive light that is passed over the tooth surface using a pen-like handheld scanner to capture images of the teeth. It can be used safely on children (and pregnant women), enabling the dentist to diagnose and implement a program to safeguard the oral health of mother and child alike.
