5.1 Mode of operation of the DIAGNOdent pen 2190
Changed tooth substance emits fluorescent radiation when exposed to light of a cer‐
tain wavelength. This radiation is detected and analysed.
A specific amount of light energy is supplied by the light probe that contacts and en‐
ters the tooth surface. If fluorescent light arises in the case of a pathological change, it
is evaluated.
At a fissure, careful scanning is required since this allows very small defects to be de‐
tected. By moving the probe slightly back and forth over the base of the fissure, the
detection sensitivity can be increased and the location of maximum florescence can
be identified.
5.2 Inserting the probe
▶ Insert the probe until it snaps into place.
WARNING
Aspiration of the probe.
Danger of suffocation.
▶ Check the seating of the probe in the DIAGNOdent pen 2190 by pulling on it!
