"Neks Technologies supports excellence in clinical practice by developing instruments clinicians can rely on for detecting sub-gingival calculus and enamel lesions," said Shirley Gutkowsi. The DetecTar mini is a minimally-invasive electronic diagnostic aid that helps hygienists detect up to 3 times more calculus in comparison with traditional methods, according to a clinical study conducted by McGill University.1

The DetecTar mini is an easy-to-use electronic device that can help decrease the amount of time spent probing blindly in deep pockets, reduce the possibility of over-scaling, and increase efficiency enabling quicker and more accurate diagnoses. In addition, it is an extremely effective communication tool enabling patients to better understand and accept their treatment plans. The DetecTar mini provides additional support to clinicians who need to encourage patients to shorten the time between follow-up appointments.
