5.1.3 OPERATING PROTOCOL FOR SOPROCARE INTRAORAL CAMERA
PERIO MODE
This fluorescence mode (associated with chromatic amplification) helps provide information about the patient’s dental hygiene
and highlights dental plaque and gingival inflammations (restricted to gingival inflammations which lead to bleeding upon
probing).
The images provided are displayed with colours that can be interpreted following the table below:
NORMAL SIGNAL
ALERT SIGNAL
Displayed colour
Natural colour of the
tooth
Natural colour and
aspect of the gingiva
Presence of deposits
from white, yellow,
orange to red
Coloration of the
gingiva in
purplish red
Supposed state of
tissue
No presence of
deposits on the
tooth
Healthy gingiva
Presence of dental
plaque
Presence of
gingival inflammation
Examine for
Healthy tooth

The camera needs to be used with SOPROTIPS, which must be placed on the camera’s head to improve fluorescence imaging
quality by shielding the camera from ambient light.
NOTE: Non-bleeding during probing is not a sure criterion for assessing gum health. The absence of a warning signal
corresponding to gingival inflammation in the area examined should not be taken as a sign of a healthy area.
CARIO MODE
In this fluorescence mode the obtained image gives a warning in red while the rest of the picture remains in black and white.
It is advised to use SOPROTIPS in CARIO mode. It is necessary to move the dental light in order to avoid light in the patient’s
mouth.
NORMAL SIGNAL
ALERT SIGNAL
Displayed colour
Colourless
Red
Supposed state of tissue
Healthy dentine
Suspicious area
Examine for
Healthy dentine
Use Gold Standard techniques to examine for potential caries
In case of this alert signal, always perform a professional cleaning using a prophy brush, powder jet cleaner, or other acceptable
means to remove any debris, meal deposits, dental plaque, plaque detection agents, and preventative materials such as
fluoride paste that can interfere with caries detection. Then perform a new examination.
Diagnosis after using the SOPROCARE is performed and provided by the general practitioner and/or dental hygienist. The alert
signal is only an indication. The dental practitioner should make a professional judgment about the proper treatment, or to
stop treatment, based upon his or her clinical expertise and analysis.
