5.1.4 OPERATING PROTOCOL FOR SOPROLIFE INTRAORAL CAMERA
DIAGNOSTIC AID MODE
In mode I, DIAGNOSTIC AID mode, SOPROLIFE helps the dental practitioner to detect damage at various clinical stages in very
high resolution.
DIAGNOSTIC AID MODE is used to view the fluorescence of the tooth surfaces in order to quickly identify areas for the dentist
to examine using Gold Standard methods. The images provided are displayed with colours than can be interpreted following
the tab below:
NORMAL SIGNAL
ALERT SIGNAL
Displayed colour
Acid green
Light green to blue according to the
thickness of the enamel
Green/black or Bright red or black red or
miss of colour (grey area)
Supposed state of
tissue
Healthy dentine
Healthy dentine
Suspicious area
Examine for
Healthy tooth

Use Gold Standard techniques
to examine for potential caries
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.
In case of 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 tartar, plaque detection agents and preventative materials such as fluor-
paste that can interfere with caries detection. Then process to a new examination.
TREATMENT AID MODE
In mode II, TREATMENT AID mode, SOPROLIFE helps dental practitioner to get a spatial map of unbroken tissue areas which
are suspect. It helps to check the exegesis quality of damage tissue during or at the end of the preparation in several clinical
situations common in general practice.
Diagnosis after using the SOPROLIFE is performed and provided by the dental practitioner. The images provided are displayed
with colours than can be interpreted following the tab below:
• In case of quick carious process:
NORMAL SIGNAL
ALERT SIGNAL
Displayed
colour
Light green to blue

Green / black or
Bright red
Dark green
Dark green with red shadow
Supposed

Completely decayed
infected dentine or
affected Interface

(End of
treatment)
Affected dentine (end of treatment)
there can still be a red shadow at the
bottom of the cavity, linked to a very
hard tissue.
It represents the tertiary dentine and
testifies of the answer of the pulp to the
carious attack.

*: Diagnosis after using the SOPROLIFE is performed and provided by the dental practitioner. Alert signal is only an indication, the dental
practitioner is the only expert to judge and adapt his treatment’s option to the situation and to decide to stop treatment based on his clinical
sense.
