DIAGNOdent

The DIAGNOdent system aids in the detection of caries (cavities) in the teeth, allowing dentists to diagnose, treat, and prevent tooth decay more effectively. Using a non-invasive laser light, dentists can detect and measure tooth decay in all stages of dental caries.

Dental caries refers to small holes or cavities that develop on or in the teeth. Once a cavity is formed, more serious tooth decay can set in. This can lead to pain, infection in the roots of the teeth, and, in serious instances, tooth loss. This is why dentists are focused on the prevention of tooth decay, starting with detecting and treating cavities. Early detection and treatment of dental caries in the mouth can lead to the prevention of tooth decay and better overall oral health.

In most cases, the detection of dental caries is fairly straightforward for dentists. Many lesions occur on the surface of the tooth, where they can be seen and diagnosed using traditional tools and techniques, such as bite-wing x-rays. However, some smaller or less accessible instances of decay may not be picked up using these tools.

DIAGNOdent is a technology that is designed to be more sensitive and specific in detecting dental caries. It can detect dental caries before cavities form and can detect tiny fissure caries in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth.

Diagnocat

Dental technology has advanced significantly in the last few years, and many practices are now embracing the power of AI technology with innovations such as Diagnocat. Here’s how you and your family can benefit from the Diagnocat dental tool.

What Is Diagnocat AI Technology?

Diagnocat AI technology was created by a team of leading dentists and radiologists. Their aim was to use artificial intelligence tools to improve patient outcomes by supporting dentists in dental diagnosis and providing computer-aided treatment plans.

Velscope

The VELscope provides dentists with full visualization of oral mucosal abnormalities, including oral cancers. The technology can reveal issues that can’t be seen under normal white light.

Although very useful, a VELscope is a very simple tool. A bright blue light is shone into the mouth, and the refracted wavelengths can indicate abnormalities. Typically, the healthy soft tissue in the mouth absorbs the light, whereas unhealthy areas will stand out.

Detecting Oral Cancer

Early detection of oral cancer can make all the difference. Oral cancer responds better to treatment when it is in the early stages, which can mean life or death for patients.

VELscope technology is designed to show cancerous and precancerous changes to the soft tissue of the mouth using fluorescence. It can often detect cancer in the early stages, which may increase a patient’s chances of survival.
