VITA ZAHNFABRIK, GERMANY www.vita-zahnfabrik.com Booth G16/H19 VITA Machinable Materials I W&H’s new Proface light probe is supposed to enable direct vi- sual detection of caries in opened cavities and minimise the risk of caries recurrence. AccordingtotheAustriancom- pany, it enables selective treat- ment during caries excavation based on Fluorescence Aided Caries Excavation (FACE). This method works in the way that violet light is applied to the opened cavity where porphyrins, metabolic by-products left by the bacteria in infected dentine and not visible to the human eye, fluoresce red while healthy tooth substance fluoresce green. Diagnostic goggles with spe- cial filters also enhance this ef- fect, the company said. WithProface,dentistswillalso have more information in regard to treatment decisions in Caries Profunda. Access to the treatment site is optimised by the probe’s new slender design which was devel- oped to guarantees flexible and painless application. W&H said that with ProFace success of caries excavation can be assessed at a glance and at any stage of the process. By assisting dentists with se- lective, minimally invasive ex- cavating, it substantially contrib- utes to maintaining the patient’s healthy tooth substance, they added.
