Digital Cavity Detection
With the techonology of digital cavity detection, we can better help you maintain and improve your oral health.
To achieve this goal, the dental care that you and your family receive from Dr. Ochev and his team always includes state of the art equipment.
Among these tools is our iTero® digital intraoral scanner with NIRI (Near Infra-Red Imaging) technology, which screens the space between your teeth above the gums for hidden decay.
Locating hidden decay before it destroys tooth structure (from the inside out) is a major goal for modern dentistry. The widespread use of fluoride supplements in dental materials, toothpastes and drinking water has made tooth surfaces harder and more resistant to decay. However, diagnosing cavities beneath the hard surfaces is more challenging because the disease process can start through microscopic defects in the hard surface enamel and can readily spread into the softer tooth structure beneath the surface.
X-rays and probing with an explorer are limited in detecting sub surface decay, particularly when the cavity is in its early stages. Fortunately, the iTero® digital intraoral scanner with NIRI technology for cavity detection is a major breakthrough that allows Dr. Ochev to monitor the areas for hidden decay.
What does digital cavity detection involve?
Our iTero® digital intraoral scanner is completely safe and pain free. We glide a wand over the surface of each tooth to receive instant feedback. The Near Infra-Red Imaging technology allows us to locate hidden decay and with treatment, stop the spread of disease before it destroys the tooth from within.
For more information including symptoms, causes, risk factors, complications, and prevention, we think this comprehensive overview called “Cavities and Tooth Decay” by the Mayo Clinic Medical Staff is a good resource.
