How Facelight works
Bacteria in dentine infected by caries leave behind metabolic products (porphyrins). When an exposed cavity is illuminated with violet light (wavelength
of 405 nm), these porphyrins show a red fluorescence, thereby indicating the significant areas for caries excavation.Your advantages at a glance
-
Visual detection of caries in opened cavities
at a glance - Support for the selective, minimally invasive excavation
- Safety and minimal risk of caries recurrence
More reliable caries detectionMore reliable caries detection
An examination with Facelight minimises the risk of recurrence of caries.
The Facelight light probe also provides important information for deciding how to treat Caries Profunda.
The slender design of the Facelight light probe offers optimum access to the treatment site.
Flexible, non-contact and therefore painless application is guaranteed.

Without Facelight
Bacteria in dentine infected with caries leave metabolic by-products (porphyrins). They are not visible to the naked eye.
With Facelight
Dentine infected with caries is clearly visible in opened cavities when illuminated
with the Facelight light probe. The porphyrins present there fluoresce red,
while healthy tooth substance fluoresces green.

With the Facelight light probe you can precisely excavate dentine infected with caries.
This conserves the healthy tooth substance of your patients!
