6.4.3 Transillumination mode

Possibly hazardous optical radiation emitted by product.

Risk of injury.

Do not look into the active light source.

The DIAGNOcam Vision Full HD produces images reminiscent of X-ray images,

but which are completely radiation free - by means of a light that is especially

adapted to this examination method. The tooth structures allow the passage of

light from the entry site to the camera. Areas that block light transmission (e.g.

carious lesions) show up clearly as well delimited, dark areas. The camera cap-

tures the actual situation and visualises it in real-time on the screen.

In this mode, the DIAGNOcam Vision Full HD camera records images in transil-

lumination for the detection of occlusal caries, proximal caries, secondary caries

and cracks.

Proximal caries

Occlusal caries

The DIAGNOcam Vision Full HD can detect caries in the enamel, but not in the

dentin. Healthy dental enamel is shown bright in the image, whereas carious

sites are shown as dark spots.

In Transillumination mode, the tip must be attached.

The LEDs in the tip (plugged onto the camera) are situated on the left and right

and emit near infrared light.
