Benefits
Prevention instead of treatment
- Patients are becoming increasingly health conscious and are
taking more trouble to preserve their healthy tooth substance.
- In other words, the dentist is required to detect the smallest
defects.
- The better and earlier the diagnosis, the better therapy may
be planned.
- If interventions are necessary, then as far as possible only
minimally invasive intervention with tooth-coloured fillings
are required.
Satisfied patients
- No damage to enamel by sharp-edged probes.
- Natural teeth are preserved for a longer time and healthy tooth substances are protected in association with minimally invasive instruments (SONICflex Line tips).
- Less exposure to radiation because no X-ray pictures are taken.
- Particularly advantageous for children and psychologically anxious patients.
- Best preventive care.
- Visual and acoustic representation of measured values make them easily understandable for patients.
- Reproducible and quantifiable results permit checking, stabilization and documentation of caries development.
- High degree of patient loyalty thanks to high efficiency.
90% hit rate
According to a study by PD Dr. Lussi of the University of Bern, the ability to detect diseased or damaged teeth without macroscopically visible fracture of the occlusal surface being present, has to date been well below the hit rates possible with DIAGNOdent.
Level of correct diagnoses for various diagnostic forms (with apparently intact occlusal surfaces)
