- DIAGNOdent laser caries detection system—We use this hand-held device, which looks like a pen, to find tiny cavities in the biting surfaces that are undetectable with x-rays. The DIAGNOdent laser measures the fluorescence given off by waste products of bacteria associated with these small cavities and records the readings on a display.
