The Proof interchangeable head is used to create
intraoral images for the detection of caries,
plaque and calculus.
Two LEDs are positioned around the optical ele-
ment with blue/violet light (wavelength 405 nm).
The energy
‐
rich light causes the tooth structure
(enamel, dentine) and the metabolites cariogenic
bacteria (porphyrins) to fluoresce. The sub-
stances emit different colours. This makes it pos-
sible to analyse caries activity and detect poten-
tial tooth disease.

The spacer enables optimum analysable images.
The position and the distance of the image are
reproducible. In addition, the spacer screens off
the image area and minimises the penetration of
external light.
