Velscope

VelScope technology is a platform that allows viewing of buccodental anomalies with a blue fluorescent light. Colour variations indicate the presence of cancerous or precancerous lesions.

Painless and totally safe, the VelScope is a state-of-the-art technology designed for early detection of oral cancers. Studies show that early diagnosis contributes greatly to increasing the patient’s survival rate. For example, a person who has received a Stage 1 cancer diagnosis has an 80% chance of recovery, compared to 20% if the cancer has evolved to Stage 4.

In short, the VelScope is very useful to complete the conventional oral examination, allowing better detection of anomalies appearing on the oral mucous membranes, which most of the time are invisible to the naked eye.
