Launched in 2012 and led by Adam Christie, CEO, Calcivis provides an imaging system enables dental practitioners to offer bespoke, evidence-based preventive treatment for dental caries patients.
The imaging system provides visual evidence of demineralization at an early stage. It means dentists can differentiate between active and non-active lesions on tooth surfaces, allowing them to monitor the condition of tooth enamel accurately and effectively over time.
The company has raised equity and grant funding totalling over £14m since its inception.
