LED Dental

VEKscope from LED Dental

LED Dental is the manufacturer of the VELscope system, which is cleared by Health Canada and the FDA as an adjunct for clinicians to enhance the visualization of oral mucosal abnormalities, such as oral cancer and premalignant dysplasia, which may not be visible to the naked eye.  The VELscope system also has significant benefits for biopsy guidance and is cleared to help surgeons determine the appropriate surgical margin when excision is warranted.

The tissue fluorescence visualization technology platform on which the VELscope system is based has benefited from over $50 million in research funded by the NIH and other respected organizations.  Applying this technology to the oral mucosa was the brainchild of LED Dental and the British Columbia Cancer Agency. 

The VELscope system is a robust, reliable, non-invasive imaging tool that provides additional clinical data to support great patient care decisions.

Quantitative cytology provides physicians with a cytopathology assessment based on an objective, computer-based measurement of large-scale DNA abnormality that can indicate precancerous or cancerous changes.

About OralAdvance™

With recent advances in visualization techniques for the oral cavity, dentists are encountering more suspicious lesions. OralAdvance™, with its soft cyto-brush sample collection kit, provides dentists with an informative new option for assessing these lesions before the invasive step of diagnostic biopsy. It provides an objective measure of gross DNA abnormality that can give additional information about the pre-malignant or malignant nature of a lesion.
