Abstract

Method and device for the detection of caries in teeth (8). In order, after investigation of a tooth (8), to be able again to find the tooth location with the greatest incidence of caries, the instantaneous measurement value and the peak measurement value--which corresponds to the location with the greatest incidence of caries attack--are displayed. By comparison of the instantaneous measurement value with the peak measurement value the tooth location with the greatest incidence of caries attack can be localised when the instantaneous measurement value coincides with the peak measurement value.
