Caries Detection
We require the Pen Diagnodent
in each office.
Reasoning
- Newer techniques are still too expensive and require to much time to incorporate into workflows.
- Very reliable and easy to perform in exam workflow.
- Help find small caries and rule out false positives of explorer technique.
- 20-30 incipient lesions.
- 30+ dentin caries.
- The pen version is more convenient and easily shared in an office.
