Dental Professionals that utilize Fluoresce HD for caries excavation achieve a better combination of excavation time and successful removal of infected dentin compared to conventional excavation methods
High intensity 405 nm (UV) LED light is emitted from fiber optic handpieces instead of white light.
- During caries removal, the 405 nm light causes porphyrins emitted by caries to fluoresce orange/red and healthy tooth light green.
- With a highspeed or lowspeed handpiece, the dentist will only remove the orange/red caries, minimizing the removal of healthy tooth structure (minimally invasive)
- Maximizing tooth strength
- Reducing risk of breakage
- When all orange/red decayed tissue is removed, the preparation is complete
- No probing, caries indicator dye, DiagnoCam photos, etc., are necessary
- Saving substantial chair time (single instrument preparation)
- F.A.C.E. (Fluorescence Aided Caries Excavation) is more accurate at identifying remaining decay than alternative methods, minimizing the risk of reinfection.
Fluoresce HD allows the dental professional to detect tooth-colored restorations more accurately, efficiently, and allows for a non-invasive diagnostic procedure.
Today, the contemporary restoration techniques of tooth-colored restorations can match the color of the natural tooth better than ever.
- Causing misdiagnosis or false positives of tooth-colored restorations more prevalent leading to false diagnosis and false patient records
- More time consuming and complicated
- Less reliable results
- Excessive or unnecessary removal of tooth structure during restorative procedures
- Leaving composite remnants in the preparation will lower the quality and the durability of further adhesive restorations
