Thanks for bumping this. Adding "cavitat" to my searches gets me some results I could not find before.
Here's one opinion that it is a scam:
Re: Have you ever had a Cavitat Scan?
I have had Osteomyelitis and run a forum for it. I cannot give the name here. I will tell you that the Cavitat is a scam. PLEASE do not waste your money on it. Do a search on this with google. here's what i have for you, amongst many people i know who have had this scamscan, it did not show anything or showed horrific things. It is a SCAM!!

But here is another more authoritative (?) link that gives it credibility.

Case Study Issue 98: Ultrasound 3D for Treating Dental Cavitations
by Dr Graeme Munro-Hall and Dr Lilian Munro-Hall(more info)
listed in case studies, originally published in issue 98 - April 2004
Cavitations are chronic infections in the jawbones. If painful they are called Neuralgia Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis (NICOs), but mostly they are painless osteomyeletis. A cavitation is a hole in the bone filled with highly toxic anaerobic bacteria. There is no blood supply and the bacteria are wrapped in a protective bio film that prevents either the immune system or antibiotics from reaching them. The toxins produced by these bacteria are extremely toxic and can cause a myriad of mental and physical symptoms from chronic fatigue, lack of mental acuity to pain in different parts of the body.
Cavitations form when the blood supply to the bone is disrupted due to tooth extraction, root fillings, trauma and gum infections. 94% of teeth extracted end up forming cavitations.
X-Rays show cavitations very poorly if at all but an Ultrasound Cavitat examination gives a highly accurate 3D picture of the bone and shows the dimensions of a cavitation to within 1mm.
Since no radiation is used the device is intrinsically very safe. Sound waves are sent through the bone from a small transducer held against the cheek to a tiny receiver placed on the opposite side of the bone.
