SoproLife

Over the last five years, we applied all of our technical expertise, in conjunction with scientific and clinical researchers, to develop a patented technology which is based on the principle of fluorescence. The result of this effort is a revolutionary new device - SOPROLIFE. The auto fluorescence technology in SOPROLIFE allows you to detect occlusal or interproximal decay, even in its earliest stages, which can often be missed by the eyes or by x-rays. SOPROLIFE allows you to differentiate healthy from infected tissue in order to excavate only the tissue which is diseased. SOPROLIFE becomes an indispensable aid for the practitioner preferring minimally invasive dentistry. Enter a new era... Discover the blue Revolution!
