With the help of fluorescence,
treat what others overlook.

An additional perspective on what you are treating. REVEAL FC makes fluorescence signals visible directly through matched filter optics – while leaving both hands free to work.

As custom-built loupes. Or as Stoggles without loupe magnification.

PRACTICE EXAMPLE · PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY

A clinical view of biofilm.
With disclosing agent. Under fluorescence.

The two images compare biofilm disclosure and the fluorescence view. Framing and lighting differ; this is not a before-and-after treatment outcome.

PRACTICE EXAMPLE · IMPLANT DENTISTRY

The clinical situation.
From several angles.

Three complementary images from the supplied implant dentistry case: a view of the operating field and two extraoral close-ups. The views illustrate the clinical context, not a guaranteed treatment outcome.

Extraoral close-up 01Additional view of the situation
Extraoral close-up 02Additional view of the situation

The three views are not presented as a before-and-after comparison. Fluorescence color alone is not a clinical finding. Clinical images supplied for this draft; their source is separate from the publication images that follow.

BIO-OSS · COMPARING LIGHTING CONDITIONS

One material.
Two lighting perspectives.

Geistlich Bio-Oss in clinical use: two original images from the Geistlich training presentation – without and with fluorescence illumination.

Without fluorescence illuminationBio-Oss · conventional light view
With fluorescence illuminationBio-Oss · additional fluorescence view

Both images reproduced unchanged. Slightly different viewing angles; no before-and-after comparison and no evidence of healing or complete decontamination.

ORTHODONTICS

Around brackets.
Take a closer, focused look.

Four examples of different findings show fluorescence patterns on unremarkable surfaces, biofilm, demineralization and initial caries.

In everyday practice: An additional perspective on areas that are challenging to clean and assess visually.

Read the study ↗
An additional view. Clinical responsibility.

Fluorescence signals are not a diagnosis in their own right. Examination, necessary imaging and treatment decisions remain essential. The absence of a signal does not prove that biofilm is completely absent. Historical publication images document the systems investigated in each case, not every current REVEAL FC configuration.

ANOTHER APPLICATION · CRACKED TEETH

Examine crack structures
under fluorescence illumination.

The clinical article “REVEAL: Cracked Teeth” presents optical approaches to tooth fractures. Some images also use sodium fluorescein – they are not all examples of purely dye-free autofluorescence.

02 / THE PRINCIPLE

No additional screen.
Just your own, unaltered view.

  1. 01

    Light excites fluorescence.

    Excitation light at a wavelength of 405 nanometers stimulates autofluorescence in the illuminated areas. No disclosing agent is required for this.

  2. 02

    Filters make signals visible.

    The matched optics allow the emitted fluorescence signals to be viewed.

  3. 03

    You interpret the information.

    The additional view complements your clinical findings and instrumentation. Both hands remain free.

06 / GOOD TO KNOW

Your questions.
Clear answers.

What additional information can I see with REVEAL?

You view fluorescence signals through the matched filter optics directly in the operating field. Patterns may vary depending on surfaces, deposits, tissues and materials. Their significance is assessed in the clinical context.

Does every red signal indicate the same finding?

No. Color alone is not a diagnosis. Imaging conditions and the structure being examined must be taken into account. The additional view is assessed alongside the other findings.

Does REVEAL replace examination or necessary imaging?

No. REVEAL is an adjunctive visualization aid. Examination, tactile criteria and necessary imaging remain part of your clinical assessment.

Does the absence of a fluorescence signal mean there is definitely no biofilm?

No. The absence of a signal does not establish that biofilm is completely absent or that complete decontamination has been achieved. Optical feedback does not replace a complete clinical assessment.

Loupes or Stoggles – which are right for me?

Loupes combine magnification tailored to you with a fluorescence view. Stoggles provide fluorescence visualization without loupe magnification or custom-built loupes. We discuss your requirements before you commit.

Can I try REVEAL in my practice?

Demonstration options and a Stoggles in-office trial can be arranged personally. We discuss availability, guidance on use, and trial conditions in advance. The initial consultation is free; this does not mean that every in-office trial is free.

How much will my configuration cost?

The optics, frame and equipment determine your personalized quote. We discuss costs transparently before you decide. A consultation inquiry is not an order.

THE NEXT STEP IS A CONVERSATION
