The SOPROCARE is intended for clinical practice of general dentistry, as an aid in the diagnosis of pit and fissure caries, as an aid to highlight dental plaque and gingival inflammations (restricted to gingival inflammations which lead to bleeding upon probing) and as intra-oral camera to visualize anatomical details that are invisible to the naked eye or with a mirror (thanks to its magnification). In CARIO mode, the camera helps the dental practitioner to highlight carious warning on pits and fissures of the occlusal side of the teeth. In DAYLIGHT mode, the camera enables you to visualize anatomical details invisible to the naked eye or with a mirror (thanks to its magnification). In PERIO mode, the camera helps the dental practitioner to see the presence of dental plaque but also to highlight gingival inflammations (restricted to gingival inflammations which lead to bleeding upon probing). This mode offers to the dentist and/or hygienist a tool for an improved communication, motivation and education of his/her patients, who will then become aware of their oral health condition.
An electrically-powered camera-based imaging unit, typically using laser scanning techniques, that is designed to capture digital images created using diagnostic imaging systems, e.g., computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), gamma camera or ultrasound, and to reproduce them in variable image formats on x-ray or radiographic film. This device usually has adjustments that allow the operator to determine how many images will be recorded on one film sheet (multi-formatting). This can be typically anywhere from 1 to 128 images in multiples of two which can be recorded onto a single sheet of film.
