KaVo DIAGNOdent - NEW!

What is it used for? Detecting the invisible.

If you cannot detect the disease, how can you treat it?
Dentists often experience challenges when attempting to diagnose the phenomenon known as hidden caries. A suspicious-looking tooth presents a treatment dilemma for dentists. Should the tooth be opened up? What if no caries is found? Should the tooth just be watched, or does that give caries more time to destroy the tooth's surface?  We now have the technology to diagnose with the utmost confidence!

A changing caries model:
Due to fluoridation, caries have gone "underground". While helping to improve the oral health of many Americans, fluoridation has resulted in harder tooth enamel. Incipient caries lesions that once began on the tooth's surface have now migrated below the surface. DIAGNOdent helps the dentist “see” hidden cavities and treat them before they spread and enlarge. 

Proven clinical results:
Treatment decisions require a higher degree of certainty. The DIAGNOdent laser caries detection aid removes the doubt from treatment decisions regarding hidden caries or questionable stained grooves. The device's ability to see into occlusal pits and fissures enables dentists to treat sub-surface caries lesions with confidence.

Is the DIAGNOdent safe?
Yes, the DIAGNOdent is safe for both patients and staff.  It used light energy – similar to that of a laser pointer.

Our Goal – To provide the best oral health care possible to you!
