Caries diagnostics and detecting enamel cracks.
All with a single system.
Caries diagnostics based on fluoroscopy.
Using a light probe for fiber-optic transillumination (FOTI) of the tooth enamel was introduced decades ago as a method for diagnosing caries. Since then, FOTI has continued to be a radiation-free, rapid, and cost-effective extension of clinical examinations. Pooling the information from the visual examination, FOTI, and X-ray image makes the diagnosis of proximal carious lesions more complete. In addition, the caries probe makes it easier to monitor tooth decay during check-ups.
