Home Dental Plaque Identification Kit Developed by University of Liverpool Scientists
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have developed a new
dental product to identify plaque build-up in the mouth before it is
visible to the human eye.
The toothbrush-sized product has a blue
light at its tip, which, when shone around the mouth and viewed through
yellow glasses with a red filter, allows plaque to be seen easily as a
red glow. The device, produced in collaboration with dental and
healthcare developers, Inspektor Research Systems BV, has been designed
for everyday use in the home.
The article has excellent graphics of the product and how plaque and tooth decay show up when using the product.
