Dental Diagnostic Tools
The days when the doctor’s eyes and an explorer were the only diagnostic tools to be found in a dental operatory are fading ever farther into the industry’s rearview mirror. Alongside the ever advancing field of
digital imaging
, dentists today have a large selection of diagnostic tools and systems to choose from. These systems can help clinicians spot caries and decay, screen for possibly cancerous oral lesions and even examine a patient’s saliva to determine their risk for periodontal issues and other diseases.
What Types of Diagnostic Tools Are Available for My Practice?
Modern dental diagnostic tools include a mix of digital systems, specialized tests, indicative materials and lights. These tools that can aid in the detection of a range of conditions and risk factors include:
Caries Detection Solutions
Shade Matching Systems
Oral Cancer and Lesion Screening Systems
Salivary Tests
Bite Sticks
Plaque Detection Dyes
What Should I Consider When Selecting a Dental Diagnostic Tool?
Deciding what type of diagnostics are most important to your dental practice is the first step in determining what types of tools, systems or equipment you want to invest in. The next consideration is how the test will fit into your practice’s workflow. Return on your investment is another important consideration. Some of these diagnostic tests are not covered by dental insurance, so it is key to know how you plan to make the testing work for your business. As with any new material or technology you bring into the practice, proper training for you and your team, and support from the manufacturer are important parts of succeeding with your new diagnostic protocol.
