Brilliant technology for diagnostics:
KaVo DIAGNOcam: the next generation of caries
detection
Biberach/Riss, IDS 2011
The KaVo DIAGNOcam - which will be presented as a Future
Concept at the IDS 2011 - is the first camera system that uses
the tooths structure to verify caries diagnosis. To do this, the
tooth
is
transilluminated
utilising
light
from
a
specific
wavelength and used as a light conductor. A digital video
camera records the image and visualises it live on a computer
screen. Structures such as carious lesions are visualised as dark
spots. The images recorded by the KaVo DIAGNOcam can be
stored, thus significantly simplifying monitoring and patient
communication.
The DIAGNOcam offers higher diagnostic safety, significantly
increased sensitivity and detail as compared to X-ray diagnosis,
in particular in cases of approximal and occlusal caries. The Xray
radiation-free
DIFOTI
technology
(Digital
Fibre-optic
Transillumination) allows for early very gentle caries detection
and will be of particular importance when treating children and
pregnant women. The KaVo DIAGNOcam is simple, fast and
easy-to-integrate and offers maximum comfort whilst working.
Experience the KaVo DIAGNOcam at the IDS 2011 – the next
generation of caries detection.
