DiagnoCAM: diagnosing tooth decay without X-rays
Detecting tooth decay without the need for X-rays is a crucial advance. Discover the latest technology: the DiagnoCAM!
At Oralitá we always keep up with technological advances, which is why we have decided to introduce a new system for diagnosing tooth decay without X-rays.
The DiagnoCAM is a dental instrument used to detect tooth decay without the need for X-rays. It is a digital fibre-optic transillumination system that is placed on the tooth enamel and reflects the tooth onto a glass. Essentially, it shines light through the tooth, and wherever there is decay, it absorbs more light and appears darker. In this way, it detects not only even the most hidden decay, but also its size and location.
This innovative tool therefore makes it possible to diagnose tooth decay early, treat it painlessly and preserve the structure of the tooth.
The DiagnoCAM is ideal for both adults and children, as using it removes the need for X-rays.
Today, detecting tooth decay without the need for X-rays is a crucial advance. It allows early assessment of tooth decay in people in at-risk groups, such as pregnant women, children, cancer patients, patients with no or reduced mobility, or those who prefer to avoid exposure to radiation.
What are the advantages of DiagnoCAM technology?
- A simple, painless process.
- Early protection against tooth decay: decay is detected at a much earlier stage than with X-rays.
- No exposure to radiation: the camera captures an image of the tooth without the need for X-rays.
- Reliability and certainty: the DiagnoCAM test has high sensitivity and accuracy (much better than X-rays).
- Your dentist will store the images obtained and will be able to monitor how the affected teeth develop over time.
- DiagnoCAM images are easy to interpret and understand, so they make communication with the patient more effective.
