In the present world, technology is influencing all sectors, improving convenience and productivity. Traditionally, dentists have been detecting cavities and decay using X-ray or manual probing. The methods have been reliable, but advancement in dentistry technology has made cavity detection easier. Laser detection technology is a savior in dental care. Cavities are identified early, and corrective measures are taken to limit the adverse effects. The process is faster and more accurate.
What is laser detection?
Laser detection entails the use of a pen-like probe that produces laser beams on the teeth’ surface. Healthy teeth allow smooth dispersion of fluorescent light. If the light quality changes at a particular spot, the probe produces audio signals, and the dentist gets computerized printouts. Now let’s talk about the advantages.
Early decay and cavity detection
Laser detection relies on the reflection quality of fluorescent light on tooth surfaces when exposed to laser beams. Regardless of the cavity size, the laser can identify it at any stage.
Laser Detection is safe
Unlike x-ray treatments, it doesn’t expose patients to radiation rays. The procedure uses a pen-like probe that emits laser beams, making it safer.
Produce precise and accurate results
You shouldn’t wait till your tooth is aching to go for a cavity check-up. The traditional diagnosing methods were tedious. With the new laser technology, dentists generate accurate diagnosis results. No more manual examination using probes!
Laser Detection is a Pain-free procedure
It is a non-invasive remedy; thus, this means no drilling, which scares many patients away. Being a non-invasive process, the patient can sit comfortably while the dentist works his magic. It’s pain-free!
The procedure is more effective and conservative
Dentists can rely on this method for early cavity detection and help recommend the best reverse treatment.
It’s conservative in that patients can overcome expensive and painful drilling procedures because of timely problem detection. The process doesn’t cause more harm to affected teeth.
