Lantis Laser (LLSR.OB) is developing and commercializing advanced technologies for applications in dentistry. The company has exclusive rights to the application of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technology for dental diagnostic imaging through its licensing agreements with LightLab Imaging and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. These rights do not expire until 2020.

Lantis Laser announced an agreement a few months ago with Axsun Technologies, leaders in the design of high-performance OCT laser engines. Axsun’s patented swept-source technology enables the highest attainable performance for Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Lantis Laser’s proprietary OCT Dental Imaging System is a diagnostic aid that provides real-time, high-resolution chairside imaging of dental tissue for the early detection of tooth decay and other oral diseases, at a resolution of up to 10 times that of an x-ray. Since the imaging system is light-based, unlike x-rays, no harmful radiations are emitted.

Lantis is currently in Phase 2 development of this
