Diagnodent Cavity Detecting Laser Technology

Diagnodent aids in the detection of caries (decay). Even very small lesions are detected at the earliest stage, enabling you to protect and preserve the tooth substance. Diagnodent scans the teeth with its laser technology with pulses of light. When decay is present, the light bounces back to the diagnodent at a different wavelength, and a digital reading is created. The higher the number on the reading, the bigger the cavity.
