Diagnodent

An amazing diagnostic tool, the Diagnodent uses a laser device to find cavities. The Diagnodent also makes it easier to find decay that may be hidden in the cracks and crevices of teeth. Because hidden decay is not visible, it may be at a very advanced stage before the first signs of pain appear, and require more drastic remedies.

LASER CAVITY DETECTION SYSTEM 

The laser cavity detection system utilizes laser light to detect caries within the tooth structure. 

Manual probing with an instrument is often an ineffective means to detect caries as the enamel defect may be too small or inaccessible to the explorer tip. Bitewing x-rays, although effective in revealing advanced stages of decay, are unsuccessful in detecting early caries, especially in the complex anatomy of fissure areas. 

The laser helps detect caries without x-ray exposure.

Because 80% of caries occur in the biting surface of the teeth it can remain virtually undetected with traditional diagnostic methods until significantly developed. Laser caries detection system is a reliable, non -invasive supplement to our diagnostic procedures and is highly effective in detecting caries at an early stage where teeth are most vulnerable.
