Introducing
a new tool
at Dental Care of Stamford to help us detect the invisible.....
Diagnodent helps detect dental caries at the earliest possible stage so
that the most appropriate treatment can be designed for you.
More accuracy -- less guesswork. |
Cross-Sections
of a Molar |
| Measurements from Diagnodent, together with conventional diagnostic tools
and valuable professional judgment, will help determine
whether to monitor suspect areas over time and treat them with
preventive therapy such as fluoride and sealants, or to
restore them with minimally invasive techniques (micro-dentistry). |

Diagnodent is the exciting result of years of research by leading
dentists and scientists at universities in Switzerland,
Scotland and Germany. |
