Device typeDental caries detector, optical induced fluorescence: A mains electricity (AC-powered) device designed to determine the changes in the fluorescence of teeth enamel and dentine due to mineral loss, mainly for the diagnosis of early stage dental caries and/or to monitor the progress of caries. It consists of a light source (typically a laser) that elicits fluorescence in teeth, and a unit that quantifies the altered fluorescence of the carious tooth tissue.
