Spectra is the only caries detection aid that works like Doppler radar to discover caries earlier. Spectra's new, sleek design features a 120 degree button ring for added comfort. Early detection means pinpointing problems at an earlier stage, which traditionally go undetected. This leads to more conservation and less excavation. Spectra uses fluorescence to detect caries in fissures and smooth surfaces that may go unnoticed in X-ray images. Carious regions appear red, while healthy enamel appears green. After capturing the image within your existing imaging software, the extent of the decay will be interpolated and indicated in two ways:

  • The color will be either blue, red, orange or yellow.
  • A numerical indicator between 0 and 5 will be shown.
  • No other caries detection aid can do this. Impressive, information-rich images enhance case acceptance. Spectra can detect decay hidden between the margins of existing composite and amalgam restorations. The Doppler radar-like images are easily understood and allow you to clearly show your patients how early intervention helps them. Spectra guides you through the caries removal process from pre-to post-procedure, ensuring that all carious dentin has been removed.

    Spectra can also be used to detect Fractured Tooth Syndrome, plaque and caries. The TWAIN interface allows you to integrate and save the fluoresced images into your patient database. Images can be stored and compared over time to track the effect of your treatment. Connects to computer with USB cable.
