Why do I need a White Light Head and what is an “Exam Tip”?

July 7, 2010

The DOE full kit comes with a White Light Head for oral illumination and transillumination. FUSION curing light can optionally add-on White Light Head. It accomplishes two goals:

  • Illumination to have side-by-side visual under fluorescence and enhanced white light illumination with the same magnification image
  • Transillumination for hard tissue oral health exam including dental caries, fractures, and root canal.

The Exam Tip (also doubles as a Tacking Tip for veneers/crowns/brackets with curing light head) is a disposable black 3mm opening tip that adapts and snaps into the end of the light head to cut down side light emission and guide the light propagation into a focused filament of light. It enables transillumination into interproximal teeth and improves contrast of visual exams on anterior, posterior and endo root canal.
