KaVo DIAGNOdent

Early caries detection with laser fluorescence technology.

What to expect

How does DIAGNOdent work?

DIAGNOdent measures fluorescence from tooth structure. Differences in the readings can help your dentist identify areas that may need closer evaluation.

It does not use X-rays, drilling or injections, making the examination quick and non-invasive. The readings can also support monitoring when your dentist wants to track an area over time.
