Diagnodent
Diagnodent is a breakthrough in technology...
Locating decay before it destroys tooth structure (from the inside out) is a big problem in modern dentistry. The widespread use of fluoride supplements, toothpastes and drinking water have made tooth surfaces harder and more resistant to decay. However, diagnosing cavities is more challenging because the disease process can start through microscopic defects in the hard surface enamel and can rapidly spread into the softer tooth structure beneath the surface. Meanwhile, the external surface of the tooth still appears to be healthy. X-ray´s and probing with an explorer are simply un-reliable in detecting sub surface decay,particularly when the cavity is in its early stages. Fortunately the new DIAGNODENT allows us to find hidden decay, and with early treatment stop the spread of disease early and prevent major tooth loss.
