What is biomimetic dentistry?
“Biomimetic dentistry is tooth conserving dentistry. Literally translated ‘Bio-mimetic’ means to mimic. … Biomimetic dentistry treats weak, fractured, and decayed teeth in a way that keeps them strong and seals them from the invasion of bacteria.”
Air Abrasion
During air abrasion, a fine stream of particles is aimed at the decayed portion of the tooth. These particles are made of an aluminum oxide mixture and are propelled toward the tooth surface by compressed air or a gas that runs through the dental handpiece. Small particles of decay on the tooth surface are removed as the stream of particles strikes them. The particles of decay are then “suctioned” away.

What is DIAGNOdent caries detector?
The Diagnodent cavity detecting device is a high tech laser fluorescence caries detection aid which measures changes in tooth structure caused by caries (cavities). It is especially useful for pit and fissure areas – even when the outer tooth structure seems to be intact.
