Abstract
A secondary caries detection device includes a current generating device configured to generate a current having the form of a sinusoidally varying signal with a frequency chosen from the range of frequencies from 200 Hz to 100 kHz and a chosen amplitude from the range of 50 mV to 5 V. The secondary caries detection device also includes a plurality of preamplifiers of high sensitivity and linearity with phase-sensitive measuring components sensitive to the chosen frequency and integral multiples of the chosen frequency. The secondary caries detection device further includes a microprocessor control unit connected to the current generating device and the plurality of preamplifiers. In addition, the secondary caries detection device includes at least one fixed electrode configured for placement on a mucous membrane of an oral cavity and at least one moveable electrode configured for placement on a surface of a tooth, both of which are connected to the current generating device and the plurality of preamplifiers.
