Finds calculus in subgingival levels. Similar to caries, plaque, and calculus contain fluorescent substances that the DIAGNOdent detects—this technology is only available from KaVo. Allows you to track down calculus more thoroughly than conventional explorers and also allows for gentler cleaning because only one cleaning session needs to be performed at the actual calculus site. Audible and visual indication is used to detect treatment sites.
