3.3.4 SOPROLIFE INTRAORAL CAMERA
The SOPROLIFE camera with its essential accessories such as docking station, single-use protection sheath and SOPROTIPS is
intended:
• as intraoral camera, to visualize anatomical details that are invisible to the naked eye or with a mirror (thanks to its
magnification) in DAYLIGHT mode
• for diagnostic aid by allowing the dentist to characterize the lesions in different clinical stages, in very high resolution
(mode I)
• to aid treatment by offering the dentist a real spatial mapping of intact and suspect tissue areas (mode II).
IMPORTANT: The SOPROLIFE does not provide diagnosis but constitutes a diagnostic aid in the detection of caries by providing
additional information to supplement the dentist’s visual observations, patient history, and information from other diagnostic
techniques, resulting in an overall treatment determination. The SOPROLIFE does not provide a diagnosis. Diagnosis after using
the SOPROLIFE is performed and provided by the dentist.
3.3.5 ACCESSORIES (PROTECTIVE SHEATHS AND INTRAORAL TIPS (SOPROTIPS AND C50TIPS))
The single-use protective sheath is intended to be used on the camera head as a hygienic protection between each patient.
SOPROTIPS and C50TIPS are intraoral tips placed on the camera head (itself protected by the protective sheath) to improve
fluorescence imaging quality by shielding the camera from ambient light.
Any use outside of these areas constitutes improper use of the product, and the user will therefore be considered responsible
for such use. The manufacturer does not accept any liability in this case.
3.4 BENEFIT
Cameras and accessories associated (intraoral tips, protective sheaths, and mini docks) are intended to visualize anatomical
and pathological details that cannot be seen with the naked eye, as well as pathology control and post-treatment.
No clinical performance is claimed for these cameras, neither direct clinical benefit but an indirect clinical benefit which
consists of allowing a faster response and a more effective action of the treatment for the patient, thanks to technical
performances allowed by each camera’s technical specification.
3.5 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
3.5.1 C50 INTRAORAL CAMERA
3.5.1.1 WITH DIAGNOSTIC AID OPTION DISABLED
The optics and electronics developed around a CMOS sensor in C50 capture images, enhance them and convert them into a
video signal which is sent to the computer screen. The camera is provided with autofocus (AF) or single focus (SF) capabilities.
3.5.1.2 WITH DIAGNOSTIC AID OPTION ENABLED
Thanks to its technology based on the phenomenon of fluorescence (provided by LED lighting) and chromatic amplification,
the camera makes it possible to carry out an overall assessment of the patient's oral health. The optics and the Complementary
Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) sensor in this camera generate images displaying the natural fluorescence of the site
under observation. These images are sent to a computer and displayed on a computer monitor and can be used by the dental
team as an aid for diagnosis. As an aid in the detection of dental plaque, gingival inflammations (restricted to gingival
inflammations which lead to bleeding upon probing), pit and fissure caries, C50 will display any changes in fluorescence,
alerting the dental professional to the need to examine the affected area using gold standard techniques. The information
provided by the image, together with results of gold standard examination, can be used to identify pathological symptoms and
formulate an appropriate treatment plan.
In CARIO mode, the camera helps the dental practitioner detect potential caries on pits and fissures on the occlusal surface of
the teeth thanks to its magnification.
In DAYLIGHT or DAYLIGHT+ mode, the camera enables visualization of anatomical details invisible to the naked eye or with a
mirror.
