Diagnosis of caries without x-ray
New opportunities in the diagnosis of caries!
Diagnocam KaVo is a unique "smart" device that allows you to accurately determine caries in the most initial form of the disease. As well as "hidden" caries in places where the doctor cannot see it without undergoing X-ray examination and, as a result, without radiation.
The principle of operation of the device is based on the method of transillumination. When light is directed to the tooth, healthy tooth tissues let it pass, and carious lesions of any stage delay light and acquire a dark color. KaVo DIAGNOcam allows you to determine the location and depth of a carious defect without using X-rays.
Main advantages:- Absence of X-rays: diagnostics of children and pregnant women
- Detection of caries at an early stage of development.
- Complete diagnostics of the supra-gingival surfaces of the tooth, secondary caries, caries on the contact surface.
DISPEL ALL FEARS AND MYTHS ABOUT THE DIAGNOSIS – DIAGNOSIS OF HIDDEN CARIES
NOW JUST LIKE 1-2-3
Not X-ray diagnostics shows nothing, it's just complacency.
As we wrote at the very beginning, the accuracy of the DIAGNOcam laser diagnostics is not just good or sufficient compared to X-ray. According to statistics, in general, the diagnosis "sees" 2 times more carious cavities than an X-ray. In addition, since it works "on the lumen", it is absolutely indispensable if we are talking about "hidden" caries and lesions located in hard-to-reach places.
A good doctor already sees everything "by eye".
The most experienced and scrupulous doctor with a dental mirror is just a person, and cannot be compared with a high-tech digital device. Even in the areas accessible to visual inspection, the device works more accurately and does not make mistakes. What can we say about the "hidden" caries, which tries to hide under the filling, between the teeth or in an outwardly absolutely healthy fissure?
There is no difference between X-rays and "fashionable" diagnostics, it is also harmful.
There is also a fundamental difference. The basis of the work of DIAGNOcam is not X-ray laser radiation. This radiation occupies an intermediate position between visible light and the X-ray wavelength range, so laser diagnostics is absolutely safe.
The patient has no symptoms, the doctor does not see caries, and the process progresses and eventually worsens with pain, pulpitis or cyst. "How so, because there was no hole, and now there is no creep!" exclaims the upset patient. But it's too late… To prevent this from happening, we recommend that you undergo a diagnosis of latent caries every six months with the "Diagnokam" device - you will find a link to the description of this diagnosis above in this article.
