TORONTO, Canada--The Canary System has been approved to be marketed and sold in the European Union.

“We are now open for business in the EU to support the demand that we’ve experienced from dental professionals across Europe who are interested in adopting our innovative early caries detection system,” announced Dr. Stephen Abrams, CEO of The Canary System’s manufacturer, Quantum Dental Technologies in Toronto.

Added Dave Kelton, vice president of sales, for Quantum Dental: “We’ve been contacted by many dental professionals wanting to know when The Canary System would be available for sale in Europe. Now that we have our CE mark, we are looking forward to getting The Canary System into dental offices across Europe. We invite dentists and other oral health professionals to contact us to see The Canary System in action and learn how this powerful tool can change the way caries are detected and treated.”

New technology to affect treatment of tooth decay

Quantum Dental Technologies is finalizing distribution agreements in Europe to help ensure that The Canary System becomes available.

“The expansion of sales to Europe builds upon QDT’s marketing and sales efforts in Canada, where QDT is engaged in a cooperative marketing relationship with 3M ESPE, whereby 3M’s innovative remineralization products are provided with the sale of The Canary System”, explained Josh Silvertown, vice president, corporate development, at Quantum Dental.

The Canary System is powered by PTR-LUM--a new tool that can detect, map and monitor carious lesions on tooth surfaces--early and accurately.
