Denplan

Denplan is the largest private dental plan provider in the UK. Over 6,500 dentists are now Denplan members, providing quality care for more than 1.8 million patients

The CarieScan PRO system is being recommended by Denplan to its member dentists.

Roger Matthews, chief dental officer at Denplan confirmed:
"In the past, one of the problems that we've experienced has been the systematic, early identification of dental caries - and with current tests such as x-rays and visualisation, you don't get a perfect answer.

What impresses me particularly about CarieScan PRO is that a very large amount of expertise and development has gone into it, and I particularly like the fact that it has a very high degree of sensitivity and specificity."

"The promise that CarieScan PRO holds is significant. It fits very well with the kind of high-quality preventive practice that Denplan set out 20 years ago and still maintains is the way forward for dentistry today".

Denplan is the market leader in the provision of private dental care with over 6,500 UK dentists affiliated to them. Denplan’s key focus for the past 20 years has been one of preventive dental care. The proactive approach to a patient’s dental health can lead to fewer, smaller fillings and improved oral health. Preventive therapy is improving the image of dentistry from the old days of 'drill and fill' to one of personalised care plans, interaction and education of the patients to allow them to take responsibility for their own health.

The technology of CarieScan PRO is a major step forward in the field of preventive dentistry and will now make it easier to detect caries early. And, due to an accuracy level of over 92%, dentists can make the right treatment decision straight away.

Monitoring of dental caries progression is now also possible, without the safety concerns of x-rays to assess the efficacy of care.

By working together to improve dental care, the clear winners are the patients, who will receive better care across the UK, bringing much needed new technology to UK dentistry by allowing dentists to detect caries early enough to be able to treat, not drill, and make the right decision for the patient.
