Non-Ionising Imaging
Technology OverviewThe technology uses light at a given near infrared wavelength [NIR] to create a transmission image of dental caries (decay). Healthy hard tissues (enamel, dentine and cementum) tend to ‘guide’ light of this wavelength, leading to a bright image, whereas decay and other inhomogeneities cause optical scattering. This produces...

Novel Dental Imaging
Reference Number:1644 Background With recent discoveries in the way that dental disease develops, the desire for the dentist to be able to detect, and subsequently diagnose, early caries has increased significantly. In the case of early lesions the initial loss of mineral from the tooth can frequently be reversed and through the use of good oral...
