Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies	6. Contingencies Legal Proceedings On July 7, 2016, Oakmore Opportunity Fund I LP, a variable rate noteholder of SprectraScience, filed for a preliminary judgement of $116, 500 in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles, case number BC622542, related to a Convertible Note. Oakmore asserts that SpectraScience breached the terms of the Convertible Note due to not having sufficient authorized shares to enable Oakmore to convert its Note with a balance of $22,500. The Company did not object to the preliminary judgement. On October 19, 2016, the Judge issued a final judgement of $521,100. The Company is retaining litigation counsel and intends to vigorously defend the amount of the judgement. The amount of ultimate liability with respect to the foregoing cannot be determined, however, the Company has established a $150,000 contingency to cover the costs of litigation and the judgement. Despite the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company at this time does not believe that Oakmore’s claim will have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The entire disclosure for loss and gain contingencies. Describes any existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as of the balance sheet date (or prior to issuance of the financial statements) as to a probable or reasonably possible loss incurred by an entity that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur, and typically discloses the amount of loss recorded or a range of possible loss, or an assertion that no reasonable estimate can be made.
