SmarTooth

SmarTooth is an optical dental caries diagnostic device that uses a laser to help diagnose dental caries. The SmarTooth is composed of a portable hardware main body with batteries, a main body holder, and a mobile application. The hardware components provide a laser source, an LED indicator, and a zero point adjustment (calibration) unit to aid in the detection and monitoring of dental caries lesions in teeth. The software component provides a meter with a digital read‐out between 0 and 99. The hardware device is a pen-type device consisting of a laser diode that generates a laser and a photodiode sensor to detect fluorescent light.
