Device for diagnosis of incipient caries using fluorescence spectrum and image

摘要

The present invention relates to a fluorescence spectrophotometer which displays fluorescence spectra by receiving fluorescence generated by irradiating laser light through an optical fiber to a region where a caries is suspected through another optical fiber and displays general and fluorescent images of a tooth at the same time, The present invention relates to an initial dental caries diagnosis apparatus using fluorescence images, which comprises a light irradiation means for irradiating light to a region where a dental caries is suspected in a tooth, a fluorescence generating means for acquiring fluorescence generated at a suspected site by the light irradiated by the light irradiation means, A fluorescent image acquiring unit for acquiring and processing a fluorescence image and an image picked up by the light irradiated by the light irradiating unit, an image processing unit for acquiring and processing the fluorescence image and the image picked up by the image processing unit, The fluorescence spectra obtained at the same time are displayed and the degree of caries is displayed to determine the initial caries Intended to include; determination means.
