This month I would like to discuss the Polaris intraoral camera system. I have had the opportunity to use this camera in my office for the past month. This camera packs a great punch. It has a USB direct interface that integrates with all the major dental management software programs. The camera turns on when you lift it from the cradle that fits any extra hand piece dock easily.

I have had the opportunity recently to evaluate a revolutionary caries detection device, SOPROLIFE from ACTEON. Like the Midwest Caries I.D. from DENTSPLY Professional and the KaVo DIAGNOdent, the SOPROLIFE system relies on fluorescence of demineralized tooth structure to determine areas of concern.
