The DIAGNOdent laser is among the newest of technologies used as a detecting device. The advanced laser detects decay earlier than more conventional methods by using a harmless laser light that searches for hidden decay. In fact, it can find 50% of the decay that goes undetected by present diagnostic methods. This laser is truly valuable in the prevention of dental problems and the promotion of good oral health.
Conventional manual probing with an instrument is only about 25% accurate for early decay detection as opposed to over 90% accuracy with the DIAGNOdent. With the use of the DIAGNOdent laser, it can now determine if decay has started much earlier.
