What is a Diagnodent?
The Diagnodent is a diagnostic device that uses a cold laser (no cutting ability) to detect dental caries. As the laser light is pointed within the tooth, the two-way head of the unit senses the reflected laser light of the site and gives an auditory as well as a digital response. The accuracy of the unit has been phenomenal and has allowed Dr. Glaros to be extremely conservative in his treatment of decay in teeth. This unit is especially effective when used with the microscopic, air abrasion.
