DENVILLE, N.J., July 15, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Lantis Laser Inc. (Pink Sheets:LLSR) (http://www.lantislaser.com) issued a statement today drawing attention to a recent significant report on a leading professional dental website, www.DrBicuspid.com, highlighting the status of light-based diagnostic modalities for the early detection of decay.
Early detection of decay is an important part in the practice of minimally invasive dentistry and the "medical model" of finding disease early and treating it early with topical or chemical means to avoid surgical intervention.
Lantis' OCT Dental System is addressed in Part III.
The report was published on the internet in three parts, with the last, Part III, titled:
Beyond x-rays: Part III -- OCT brings early decay to light

Links to Part I and Part II, which discuss currently available diagnostic products, are accessible at the end of Part III.
Lantis' OCT Dental Imaging System is based on novel, light-based bio-medical imaging technology, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), that enables the dentist to do diagnostic imaging, chairside and in real-time. Images can be captured at a resolution of up to 10 times that of x-ray, enabling early detection of decay and detailed examination of microstructural defects. As the power source is light-based, unlike x-ray there is no harmful radiation.
