Caries Detection
Since the introduction of flouridated water in the late 1940's, and topical fluoride applications in the early 1950’s, more effective caries detection and prevention has been an industry goal.
Caries Detection By Light
Light technology provides another tool in the fight against periodontal disease. Laser Caries Detection devices provide an excellent addition to visual, tactile clinical examinations and radiographs.
Caries Detection at Earliest Possible Stage.
Two reasons to incorporate light emitting caries detection devices in your practice:
- The caries process is reversible if intercepted at an early stage, saving valuable tooth enamel.
- More efficient caries detection measures allow for early preventive treatments such as sealants.
Research conducted at the Indiana University School of Dentistry during the 1990’s demonstrated the accuracy of Quantitative Light Fluorescence (QLF) for monitoring changes in the mineral content of enamel, and now, in 2010 instruments are available which demonstrate >90% effectiveness at caries detection.
