Concept testing
What clinicians said
Before KARVI went to market it was put in front of dentists, oral radiologists and dental students, who scored it on comfort, stability, material quality and whether they would switch to it.
Results are being prepared
The concept-testing survey is complete and the results are being verified before publication. They will appear here shortly, reported as percentages rather than counts — the study is still open and the response count changes.
In the meantime, the fastest way to judge KARVI is to try it. Request a pilot kit and assess it on your own patients, with your own equipment.
What was measured
- Ease of use in a routine appointment
- Patient comfort
- Stability during X-ray positioning
- Material quality
- Size suitability across patients
- Comparison against the holder they already use
- Whether they would recommend it to a colleague
Methodology
How the study was run
Respondents were dental professionals and students who used the KARVI holder and completed a structured questionnaire covering ease of use, patient comfort, positioning stability, material quality, size suitability, comparison against their existing holder, and whether they would recommend it.
This is concept testing, not a controlled clinical trial. It measures practitioner opinion after hands-on use. It does not measure diagnostic accuracy, retake rates or clinical outcomes, and it should not be read as doing so.
The study is open and continues to collect responses, so figures will be reported as percentages rather than counts. A substantial share of respondents were dental students rather than practising clinicians — relevant when weighing the results.
Survey opened before 1 August 2026. Results are reviewed periodically.
Judge it yourself
Opinion is useful. Your own operatory is better. Request a pilot kit and test it on your own cases.
