Dental calculus detection using the VistaCam [PDF]

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Dental Research, 2016
AbstractThe VistaCam® intra‐oral camera system (Dürr Dental, Bietigheim‐Bissingen, Germany) is a fluorescence system using light emitting diodes that produce a 405‐nm violet light. This wavelength has potential application for detection of dental calculus based on red emissions from porphyrin molecules.
