Microlux 2 Transilluminator Helps Accurately Diagnose Caries and Fractures
The ergonomic, high-intensity Microlux 2 Transilluminator offers greater visualization to assist in diagnosis and 
treatment planning.
Do cracked teeth make you second-guess yourself? Sometimes the restoration is an easy fix, and a simple crown does the job. However, there are times when referring a patient to an endodontist is appropriate. It can be tough to tell the difference with just an X-ray, which can only tell you that the tooth is split in half and displaced.
A tool that can give you more insight into the cracks and fractures in a tooth can help you make better, more confident decisions about treatment.
That’s just what the Microlux 2 transilluminator from AdDent does. Created in response to dentist demand, the Microlux 2 light is about the size of a standard permanent marker but can help you see the precise nature of the damage.
This tiny dynamo is low on cost but big on functionality. Ergonomically designed to require just one finger for use, the Microlux 2 transilluminator has push-button controls and an anti-roll feature.
The Microlux 2 transilluminator comes with different tips for multiple purposes:
- With the 2mm or 3mm light, the transilluminator can help you accurately diagnose anterior and posterior caries and fractures. The 3 mm tip can also help you identify and locate root canals.
- Sliding the Proximal Caries tip under the contact point and viewing from the occlusal can help you find posterior caries.
- The Endo Lite tip goes into the sulcus to help locate root canals.
- The Perio-Probe attachment lights up at different depths to measure gingival recession.
Plus, the base is compatible with all existing Mircolux attachments.
“The Microlux is one of the most important illumination devices available to enhance viewing of dental tissues,” Dr. James R. Dunn told AdDent about his experience with the tool. “ I use the Microlux on every patient in which I have to evaluate tissue, including, initial exams, hygiene exams, emergencies, and clinical procedures.”
The Microlux 2 transilluminator is an inexpensive, endlessly useful piece of equipment.
According to AdDent, many dentists purchase one for each operatory in their practice. Plus, it runs on AA batteries, eliminating the need for constant charging. A voltage regulator ensures consistent light output.
