CAUTION
Possibly hazardous optical radiation emitted from product.
Risk of injury.
Do not stare into the active light source.
The DEXIS CariVu 3-in-1 by KaVo produces images reminiscent of X-ray im-
ages, but which are completely radiation free - by means of a light that is espe-
cially adapted to this examination method. The tooth structures allow the pas-
sage of light from the entry site to the camera. Areas that block light transmis-
sion (e.g. carious lesions) show up clearly as well delimited, dark areas. The
camera captures the actual situation and visualises it in real-time on the screen.
In this mode, the DEXIS CariVu 3-in-1 by KaVo camera records images in tran-
sillumination for the detection of occlusal caries, proximal caries, secondary
caries and cracks.
Proximal caries Occlusal caries Secondary caries
The DEXIS CariVu 3-in-1 by KaVo can detect caries in the enamel, but not in
the dentin. Healthy dental enamel is shown bright in the image, whereas cari-
ous sites are shown as dark spots.
In Transillumination mode, the tip must be attached.
The LEDs in the tip (plugged onto the camera) are situated on the left and right
and emit near infrared light.
