Across its full capability spectrum, the InnerView System measures both Internal Mobility and Overall Mobility in teeth and implants.
For the first time, dental professionals can detect Damage in teeth that was previously invisible—before symptoms appear, before costly intervention, and before tooth loss.
The InnerView® system is redefining what’s possible in dental diagnostics, bringing proprietary Quantitative Percussion Diagnostics (QPD®) technology to a field long overdue for innovation. By providing real-time, non-invasive assessments of tooth structure, the system is setting a new standard of care — giving dental professionals measurable data to support earlier, more confident clinical decisions. The InnerView device is the first and only FDA-cleared technology to measure “internal mobility” associated with cracks and failing restorations in teeth. Developed by Perimetrics as the first clinical application of Quantitative Percussion Diagnostics (QPD), the system translates research into real-time insights for earlier, evidence-based decisions.
For the InnerView system, that means enabling earlier, data-backed decisions that help clinicians act with greater confidence, well before symptoms surface or traditional tools reveal a problem.
For decades, dentistry has relied on diagnostic tools that were either subjective or limited in scope. Manual percussion depended on “feel.” Imaging could show anatomy, but not stability. And early signs of cracks or loose restorations were often invisible until they had already progressed.
The InnerView system was created to change this. The system translates subtle shifts in internal mobility into measurable insight, helping practices identify issues earlier and plan treatment more effectively. Using Quantitative Percussion Diagnostics (QPD®), the system quantifies how the internal structure of a tooth responds to gentle percussion. This reveals subtle mobility-related changes often linked to cracks or loose restorations that imaging alone can't show, enabling timely, evidence-based decisions before symptoms emerge. Clinicians can guide treatment with measurable data and greater confidence, engaging patients before problems escalate. No invasive procedures. No radiation. At the heart of the InnerView® system is a mission to shift dentistry from reactive treatment to proactive wellness through precision diagnostics that enable earlier intervention and long-term patient care.
Our leadership brings decades of clinical and dental technology expertise to advance patient-centered care, giving dental teams the clarity and confidence to act earlier.
