Description:

The DIAGNOdent 2095 employs a 655 nm, ≤ 1 mW Class 1 laser to excite tooth fluorescence and quantify caries progression. A detachable, autoclavable handpiece tip directs pulsed laser light into enamel; healthy tissue fluoresces blue, while demineralized or carious areas emit red fluorescence. Readings appear as both momentary (real-time) and peak values on the pen’s LED display, accompanied by an adjustable audible tone. A snap-in calibration standard ensures accuracy; the unit auto-switches off after ~2 min of inactivity, and volume can be set in four steps. Powered by an internal 6 V / 3600 mAh rechargeable battery, it recharges in its docking base. At 5.90 × 4.33 × 4.72 in and 1.32 lb, the DIAGNOdent 2095 is handheld, robust, and ready to integrate into any operatory.

Economic Advantage:

Traditionally, early enamel lesions required tactile probing or radiography—methods that risk overtreatment or miss subtle decay. The DIAGNOdent 2095’s objective numeric feedback enables clinicians to detect and monitor caries non-invasively, supporting minimally invasive dentistry and reducing unnecessary restorations. Its quick, reliable readings improve patient acceptance and chairside throughput, while the rechargeable-battery design and autoclavable tips cut disposable-costs and maintenance downtime—delivering a rapid return on investment compared to conventional diagnostic workflows.
