Abstract
Method and device for the detection of caries, plaque, calculus, bacterial attack, etc. in/on teeth, a radiation being generated using a light source and directed at a tooth to be examined, producing a reflected radiation there. The reflected radiation is detected and evaluated using a detection device. Advantageously, the tooth is irradiated using two or more wavelength ranges, the measured reflected intensities of the two wavelength ranges being related to one another as a characteristic value for the presence of caries, plaque, calculus, bacterial attack. As a supporting measure, the fluorescence radiation may also be evaluated.
