2 Safety
Dürr Dental has designed and constructed this
device so that when used properly and for the
intended purpose there is no danger to people
or property� Nevertheless, residual risks can re-
main� You should therefore observe the follow-
ing notes�
2.1 Intended purpose
The camera can be operated both in or on the
oral cavity of the patient and outside their
mouth� The images support diagnosis, patient
communication and information, and are used
for instruction and documentation purposes�
They can also be used to document the
progress monitoring of a range of dental diseas-
es�
2.2 Intended use
The camera handpiece can be used in combi-
nation with a variety of interchangeable heads�
This enables different applications in healthcare
facilities, dental practices, dental clinics, ortho-
dontic surgery, and oral and maxillofacial sur-
gery� Working with a computer, monitor and an
imaging software, this digital system can be
used to create and store images and videos�
Possible applications:
1�Cam interchangeable head:
For the recording of images and videos for a
lifelike view of teeth and the oral cavity, from
facial images up to macro images�
2�Proof interchangeable head:
For improved detection of occlusal and
surface caries, plaque and calculus� Fluores-
cence-based images are marked in colour
and labelled with arrows and values�
3�Proxi interchangeable head:
Enables the detection of approximal caries by
virtue of the translucence of the healthy tooth
enamel to light waves in the infra-red range�

sharply on the object� The focal plane is preset
on the spacer during placement of the Proof or
Proxi interchangeable head, but can be
changed with the focus button�
Still images and video recordings can be creat-
ed with the camera� The function of the trigger
button is dependent of the recording mode in
the imaging software (still image or video)� In the
Still Image mode, the camera switches between
Live mode (moving image) and Freeze mode
(still image)� In Video mode, the recording starts
or stops� Pressing the trigger button causes the
camera to vibrate slightly� Optionally, a foot
switch can also be used for triggering�
The illumination is incorporated in the inter-
changeable head� The optical element is divid-
ed: One part is in the handpiece, the other part
is in the interchangeable head�
The image sensor in the handpiece digitises the
image� The camera transmits the image to a
computer via the USB connection cable�
The connection cable is used to connect the
camera directly to the USB connection of the
computer or, optionally, to the handpiece holder
with USB hub� The camera needs imaging soft-
ware from Dürr Dental�
The power supply of the camera to the compu-
ter is realised via the USB connection cable�
The camera switches off automatically if it is not
moved for one minute� As soon as the camera
is moved, it switches on again�

Product description
Application areas of the Proof interchangeable
head:
– Detecting plaque and calculus
– Detecting caries at an early stage
- Fissure caries that are difficult to detect
- Precise location of carious lesions on
smooth surfaces
- Optically-supported check during excava-
tion
– Checking, documenting and archiving the
progress of dental illnesses in the imaging
software�
Evaluation
The images are analysed by the imaging soft-
ware with the help of a filter�
The prophylaxis view shows the original image�

The caries view analyses the intrinsic biofluores-
cence of the substances with the caries filter�

The Proof interchangeable head is used to cre-
ate intraoral images for the detection of caries,
plaque and calculus�
Two LEDs are positioned around the optical ele-
ment with blue/violet light (wavelength 405 nm)�
The energy‐rich light causes the tooth structure
(tooth enamel, dentine) and the metabolites cari-
ogenic bacteria (porphyrins) to fluoresce� The
substances emit different colours (intrinsic bi-
ofluorescence)� This makes it possible to ana-
lyse caries activity and detect potential tooth
disease�
Substance Colour of

biofluores-
cence
Tooth structure (tooth enamel,
dentine) Green
Metabolites of cariogenic bac-
teria (porphyrins) Red
The spacer enables optimum analysable imag-
es� The position and the distance of the image
are reproducible� In addition, the spacer screens
off the image area and minimises the penetra-
tion of external light�

The handpiece with the Proxi interchangeable
head creates a black and white image for de-
tecting caries in the approximal region�
The optical element is placed on the row of
teeth� An image is created by actuating the trig-
ger button� The spacer facilitates the placement
of the optical element on the row of teeth� In ad-
dition, the spacer screens off the image area
and minimises the penetration of external light�
Two powerful infra-red LEDs are installed in the
optical system� The infra-red light illuminates the
tooth and is reflected with varying intensity de-
pending on the translucence (light transmission)
of the dental structures� The reflected light is re-
corded by the optical element and is analysed
as a black and white image in the VistaSoft im-
aging software�
Evaluation
The black and white image shows structures
with varying translucency as different levels of
brightness� The lower the translucency, the
higher the reflection of the infra-red light and the
brighter the structure� It is possible to make out
to following structures:
– Healthy enamel appears very dark, high
translucency
– Approximal caries appears bright, low trans-
lucency
– Dentine appears bright, low translucency
– Several restorations appears bright, no trans-
lucency
The colour scale and the numeric values provide
reliable information on carious lesions:
Healthy tooth enamel
1�0
Initial caries, early stages of enamel caries
1�5
Enamel caries up to the enamel/dentine
junction
2�0
Dentine junction already exceeded
2�5
Deep dentine caries

hub (optional)
The camera can also be connected to the com-
puter via the handpiece holder with USB hub�
This enables a greater distance between the
camera and computer�

1 USB connection (for camera or USB stick)

The camera is connected to the handpiece
holder� An additional USB connection is availa-
ble, e�g� to connect a USB stick�
Figure 4: Any lesions on the mesial surface
can be recognised as a wide bright strip up to
the enamel/dentine limit.
Figure 5: Enamel lesions on the mesial surface
can be seen as wedge-shaped structures
within the dark translucent tooth enamel. The
lesions reach to the inner half of the enamel.
The system cannot distinguish between struc-
tures with the same amount of translucency�
Thus it is not suitable for the diagnosis of:
– Secondary caries under restorations
– Dentine caries
– Central occlusal caries
The tooth enamel appears brighter in patients
with highly opaque tooth enamel� The caries di-
agnosis is complicated here by the low differ-
ence in contrast�
