Oral Diagnosis
Lasers and SLDs (short for superluminous diode, a high powered light emitting diode or LED) have been used in dentistry for over a decade for diagnosis, identification and diagnostics.
Applications include:
- Removal of tooth decay. To prepare a tooth and the surrounding enamel for a filling and then to cure a filling.
- Bacteria removal. When treating gum disease, lasers are used to remove bacteria while during root canal procedures, areas are cleaned to prevent infection.
- Teeth whitening is now and extremely popular and profitable dental procedure. To speed up the procedure, lasers are used to activate the peroxide bleaching solution, applied to the tooth surface. This shortens the whitening process time requirement.
- Easy identification of fractures, caries, sublingual calculus, and root canal openings.
- Soft tissue diagnostics and to identify any abnormal cells
Benefits include:
- In some applications, less invasive, causing less pain. This can reduce the need for anesthesia
- The absence of scrapers, picks and other traditional dental tools may reduce some patients’ anxiety.
- Minimize bleeding and swelling during soft tissue treatments
- Treatment of adjacent, bacteria-bearing surfaces may result in healthier teeth after root canals and cavity removal.
DioPower Diagnostic Light
Using DioPower blue lights for curing
DioCure puts more power at your fingertips than other LED lights. Of the five settings, three are maximum intensity and can be set for 5, 10 or 15 seconds. The remaining two are soft start, for ramp curing – four seconds at 10% strength leading to 8-12 seconds at 100% intensity. The wavelength spectrum of 450-490 nm can also be set for continuous light. Consider adding the optional LED head with lower wavelength for those few materials not cured by the standard wavelength.
Transillumination
DioLight uses the white light diode with five program options: two fixed intensity; and three with variable programmable intensity. This enables easy identification of fractures, caries, sublingual calculus, and rootcanal opening. This is an inexpensive, indispensable diagnostic tool.
For soft tissue
Complete set for diagnostics, the white light diode, with our special diffusing light tip, is essential for providing light with no shadows or reflection. These are ideal conditions for examination. Do a before and after exam using a mouth rinse of 1% acetic solution to identify any abnormal cells. The Aceto Screen kit with 150 ml mouth rinse and five disposable diffusing tips provides affordable, state-of-the-art soft tissue diagnosis.
