Procedure

This state-of-the-art diagnostic instrument works on the basis of the differing fluorescence between healthy and diseased tooth substance. It reliably detects even the smallest lesions without exposing the patient to radiation. And there’s no probing or scraping - so no damage to healthy tooth substance.
A wand containing a light-emitting diode laser and probe, is passed over the carious region. It stimulates modified tooth substance, causing it to fluoresce. The wand then directs this fluorescence back to an analysis photocell, which then displays it visually and emits an audible tone.

The robust sapphire probes can detect caries wherever they are, even in the interdental space.

Whilst the fissure probe sends out a parallel laser beam as usual, the approximal probe has 100° laser beam deflection, allowing the entire surface of the tooth to be scanned easily.

A colour marking makes it easy to set the beam direction and it only takes a few minutes to examine the entire interdental space.

Level-dependent treatment notes

Display value	Diagnosis/treatment/ Therapie
0 - 13	Healthy tooth - a professional teeth cleaning (PTC) is all that is required
14 - 20	Intensive PTC with fluoride treatment etc.
21 - 29	Intensive PTC with fluoride treatment and monitoring - take into account minimally invasive restorations and caries risk factors Indication dependent on the following: Caries activity Caries risk Recall intervals etc.
From 30	Minimally invasive restorations and intensive PTC
