Lawrence A. Kotlow, D. D.S., a graduate of SUNY Buffalo, New York Dental School has been in practice since 1974 and specializes in Pediatric Dentistry in his private dental practice located in Albany, New York. "As a pediatric dentist, I now have an additional tool for diagnosing interproximal as well as occlusal decay in very young children who cannot cooperate adequately to have intraoral diagnostic X-rays taken, " said Dr. Kotlow. "I have found that the D-Carie unit has diagnosed many lesions on primary teeth that would have otherwise gone undetected in children, where radiographs were not possible. This has resulted in my office taking bitewing radiographs in instances where we may not have originally seen the need to do so and where very little clinical evidence of a developing lesion was observed. Children accept the probe with little concern and parents are excited to have an alternative to X-rays."
The D-Carie mini - quick, easy, accurate caries detection
The D-Carie mini is a lightweight, easy-to-use, cordless device that can be used as an aid for clinicians to quickly locate and diagnose caries. The D-Carie mini uses Light Emitting Diode (LED) and fiber optic technologies and is FDA approved as a diagnostic aid for the detection of both interproximal and occlusal caries. The device requires no calibration and is easy to sterilize.
The D-Carie mini detects more than 92 percent of occlusal caries and up to 85 percent of interproximal caries. Using only X-rays and dental explorers, dentists can overlook approximately half of incipient caries. When used as a diagnostic aid in conjunction with an X-ray, the D-Carie mini allows dentists to assess a third dimension - the volume of caries - prior to opening the tooth. The device also provides dentists with an option for examining and diagnosing children, pregnant women and patients who prefer to forgo X-rays or limit their exposure to them for health or personal reasons.
The device is useful for infants and young children, especially those with special needs who are unable to undergo radiographs. The tool is also effective in detecting caries and decalcification in the teeth of children with orthodontics. Additionally, it is an extremely effective communication tool enabling parents to better understand that treatment is necessary, and that there is an alternative when X-rays are not desired.
