  • For the early detection of tooth decay in the occlusal and proximal areas
  • Diagnostic reliability proven in numerous clinical studies
  • Straightforward operation, with real-time information visible on the easy-to-read integrated display
  • Additional external display for effective patient communication
  • Sterilizable sapphire tips and handpiece sleeve ensure hygiene and safety

Early caries detection with laser fluorescence technology

Make the most of the extra diagnostic assurance offered by the KaVo DIAGNOdent Pen and identify proximal, occlusal and hidden tooth decay or concretions in the periodontal pocket more easily. The DIAGNOdent Pen can be seamlessly integrated into your prophylaxis workflow and actively aids patient communication.

Detecting caries -
the safe way.

Laser Fluorescence Caries Detection Aid which measures changes in the tooth structure caused by caries. It is especially useful for pit and fissure areas - even when the outer tooth surface seems to be intact. 90% accurate in detecting incipient caries. Allows monitoriring over time. Easy to use - portable, handheld, pen-like device. Move easily from room to room. DIAGNOdent pen is ideal for offices thatw would like to have the mobility of a handheld diagnostics device.

Secure detection of caries - your benefits at a glance

  • Improved patient loyalty due to pleasant methods of treatment and successful prevention
  • Reduced use of the manual probe, decreased abrasion of the enamel
  • Gentle measurement enables micro-invasive treatment, without the unnecessary removal of healthy enamel in many cases
  • Increase patient acceptance 
  • High patient loyalty + and improved service = increased success of your dental practice

Highest quality of diagnosis and perfect monitoring

The LASER fluorescence technology of the DIAGNOdent pen provides reliable results and supports safe and reliable caries diagnosis.

This allows for early detection of fissure and proximal caries. Thanks to the proven reproducibility, the DIAGNOdent pen can also be used to monitor the development of caries. With the Paro probe, you can also detect plaque in the gingival pockets.

Kariesdiagnose mit DIAGNOdent pen - Highlights und Vorteile

  • Simple diagnosis: Children and adolescents in particular have fissure caries in nearly 80% of all cases which can be detected more easily with DIAGOdent pen
  • Easy detection of the "iceberg" syndrome: 90 % of caries is within the proximal area – they will be detected with the diagnostic devices DIAGNOdent pen
  • Simple early detection: Fissure caries, proximal caries and calculus, are detected in good time, resulting in fewer subsequent interventions
  • Simply more safety: Optimum support for the dentist's eye and for X-ray images – the DIAGNOdent pen detects infected and affected tissue in almost every case
  • Simply improved patient loyalty: Thanks to the gentle and safe support of your diagnosis, your patients enjoy returning for treatment and will recommend your practice to others

Diagnostic device DIAGNOdent pen - safe and sure.

The DIAGNOdent pen offers the advantage of measuring fluorescence deep within the fissure pattern, since LASER light easily penetrates the enamel and is reflected by even the smallest lesion.

The perio probe of the DIAGNOdent pen, detects calculus more thoroughly than conventional probes. Cleaning becomes less invasive because only those regions are cleaned where calculus actually exists.

The DIAGNOdent pen, along with a clinical evaluation and the consideration of the individual caries risk factors, enhance early identification of caries and diagnosis. Based on the favourable reproducibility of its values, the DIAGNOdent pen is an outstanding instrument for detecting the development of lesions in regular examinations.
