    SoproLIFE is a dental caries detection system that uses fluorescence to detect decay. It contains different modes for intraoral and extraoral imaging. In caries detection mode, healthy tooth emits green light while decayed areas appear red, allowing detection of lesions. Key advantages over visual examination are earlier detection, objective results, and minimally invasive treatment. However, it has higher costs and false readings can occur. Overall, SoproLIFE enhances detection capabilities but visual examination remains important.

    SoproLIFE DENTAL

    CARIES SYSTEM
    Kimberly Tran, Rosy Garcia, & Anissa Adams
    What is SoproLIFE
    LIFE stands for Light Induced Fluorescence Evaluator
    Made by a company called ACTEON Group
    - Manufactures high tech medical devices made to help dentists and surgeons for a
    safer and quicker procedure to establish minimally invasive dentistry
    Detects occlusal and interproximal decay, at the most earliest stage
    Dental caries is the most common oral disease worldwide, but it can be
    preventable by the use of SoproLIFE
    Features
    4 types of modes
    in SoproLIFE
    1) Extraoral Mode
    - Contains 30 mm focal range
    - Takes profile pictures
    2) Intraoral Mode
    - Contains 5-20 mm focal range
    - Takes pictures of smiles; particular
    tooth, quadrant, and arch
    3) Marco Mode
    - Contains a 0 mm focal range
    - Magnifies the image 115X
    4) Caries Detection Mode ****
    - Contains 2 modes: diagnostic and
    treatment mode
    1) Diagnostic mode
    Caries detection mode
    - Detects caries by producing a red or green fluorescent light
    - A green light will reflect if the tooth is healthy
    - A red light will reflect a decayed area of the tooth

    2) Treatment mode
    -Detects any remaining caries during restorative work
    -It is used until the red light is no longer visible
    -Minimally invasive dentistry ***
    2 Major Techniques KNOWN:
    1) Visual Examination
    - Radiographs & mirror/explorer

    2) Fluorescence Caries Detecting Devices


    - SoproLIFE
    - Other devices (DIAGNOdent, DIAGNOdent Pen, & Spectra)
    Visual
    Examination
    1) Radiographs & Mirror/Explorer
    - Most commonly used
    - Radiographs detect caries interproximally
    - Mirror/Explorer are used by using the
    sharp tip of the instrument and check if it
    sticks to the decayed area
    SoproLIFE
    1) Dental Caries System
    - Device that contains a fluorescence light to detect the decayed area
    - Also serves as an intraoral camera
    - Light is stimulated by short and long wavelengths (400-700 nm) that distinguish a
    healthy tooth from a non-healthy
    - Red = carious lesion ; green = healthy tooth
    SOPROLIFE
    Advantages Disadvantages
    Fast, easy to use, & efficient May give a false reading due to remaining
    deposits (plaque, calculus, etc.)

    Detects caries that have been overlooked Requires technology skills


    through the naked eye

    Includes an intraoral camera and other Costly ****


    special features

    Patients are more likely involved and


    convinced that the lesion is present

    Minimizes the radiation exposure

    Painless
    Visual examination
    Advantages Disadvantages

    Been around for centuries Can be painful

    Convenient Detects the lesion once it is 30-40%


    demineralized

    Less costly Requires radiation exposure

    Can be time consuming

    Testimonials
    SoproLIFE enhances my skills as a
    dentist by enabling me to detect
    caries earlier and more conservatively
    remove decay. - Martin Jablow, DMD

    The images pre-op and during the


    procedures have helped me
    professionally in recognizing areas of
    decay that I might have otherwise
    missed. - Paul Feuerstein, DMD
