BlueCheck makes early caries detection simple
Choose BlueCheck to simplify management of your patient’s oral health, taking guesswork out of early caries detection.
Dental caries is the most prevalent chronic disease worldwide and it’s preventable. The problem is that early caries lesions aren’t visible, so they’re not detected – and the ability to halt or even reverse disease and the cost of surgical treatment increases as decay progresses.
BlueCheck makes it possible – and simple – to detect caries lesions early by making them visible through a convenient procedure using a removable detection aid. With earlier diagnosis, non-surgical treatment can be initiated sooner, enamel damage can be prevented and reversed, and outcomes for patients are improved.
About Bluecheck
Biomolecule
Made using a natural protein, linked to a dye molecule, in a saline solution
Reversible interaction
Binding is through a non-permanent electrostatic interaction reversed with brushing with SLS-toothpaste and interactions with saliva
Natural Mechanism of Action
Utilizes the natural hydroxyapatite-binding chemistry of proteins to accurately bind to the sites of dental demineralization
FDA cleared indication
To aid the dental professional in the visualization of carious lesions
Direct measure of disease
Specific hydroxyapatite-binding gives a direct measure of porosity
Simple procedure
Whole mouth application. Five simple steps, less than a few minutes. Ready to use format, store at room temperature
BlueCheck in Practice
BlueCheck uses natural protein-binding chemistry to attach to porous dental hydroxyapatite (active sites of demineralization), with deeper coloration for deeper lesions and sensitive detection down to ~50um lesions. Whole mouth application, no additional equipment or lighting needed.
With BlueCheck your patients can see the early signs of tooth decay first-hand, before they are visible as a white spot lesion. Allowing you to educate your patients with an objective, visual aid. Early detection empowers minimally invasive care, by enabling caries education, remineralization treatments that could be delegated within the dental team and an opportunity to protect and heal the early enamel damage.
