SIROInspect is based on Fluorescence-Aided Caries Excavation technology, known as FACE®, which exploits the fluorescence characteristics of teeth. If teeth are illuminated with violet light in the spectrum of around 405 nm, it doesn’t only stimulate degradation products of caries bacteria but also healthy dentine to fluoresce. Healthy dental tissue lights up green whereas carious areas are visibly red. The attending dentist can therefore see at first glance – and very clearly - which areas are carious and which ones are not.
