OralCDx represents a breakthrough in oral cancer detection, a test that will allow you and your dentist to improve the prognosis of a disease that has remained unchanged for the last 50 years.
OralCDx is the first computerized brush biopsy system. It allows dentists to quickly, painlessly and reliably detect oral cancer in its earliest, most easily treatable stage.
Originally developed as part of the “Star Wars” missile defense program, the OralCDx computer system includes a neural network-based image processing system specifically adapted to detect abnormalities unique to oral brush biopsy samples.
To use the OralCDx system we simply identify the area in question, brush over it with our small bristle brush and put the cells that come from the tissue onto a glass slab. Then we seal the sample and send it in to the computer for the test. Its quick, simple and painless. And best of all, it give you peace of mind.
You can do much to prevent the spread of oral cancer yourself by identifying any suspicious areas in your mouth to us if you notice them. We will be doing the same for you in your routine exams in our office.
