Technology OverviewThe technology uses light at a given near infrared wavelength [NIR] to create a transmission image of dental caries (decay). Healthy hard tissues (enamel, dentine and cementum) tend to ‘guide’ light of this wavelength, leading to a bright image, whereas decay and other inhomogeneities cause optical scattering. This produces...
