Early Cavity Detection Using DIAGNOdent

Let acoustic technology be your second opinion.

If you cannot detect disease, how can you treat it?

To maintain your oral health, the earliest possible care is essential. DIAGNOdent aids in the detection of cavities. Even very small lesions are detected at the earliest stage, enabling you to protect and preserve the tooth substance.

DIAGNOdent Is Over 90% Accurate

How does it work?

The DIAGNOdent measures laser fluorescence within the tooth structure. As the incident laser light is propagated into the site, two-way handpiece optics allows the unit to simultaneously quantify the reflected laser light energy. At the specific wavelength that the DIAGNOdent laser operates, clean healthy tooth structure exhibits little or no fluorescence, resulting in very low scale readings on the display. However, carious tooth structure will exhibit fluorescence, proportionate to the degree of caries, resulting in elevated scale readings on the display.
