Features and Benefits

Caries Detection
The CS 1600 is designed to detect caries in the earliest stages on both occlusal and smooth surfaces to help you provide more efficient and comfortable patient care. Use the CS 1600 to:

• Identify, monitor, and treat carious lesions earlier than ever
• Detect suspicious incipient caries on both smooth and occlusal surfaces while still in the “white spot” stage
• Access and treat sub-surface lesions and smaller regions (<3mm) of decay
• Differentiate advanced decay from early caries or healthy tooth structures

Exclusive Technology
The CS 1600 uses FIRE (Fluorescence Imaging with Reflectance Enhancement) images to determine the degree and associated numerical value of fluorescence loss of suspected lesions. 

Fluorescence effect
Under violet-blue illumination, teeth naturally emit yellow-green fluorescence. This emitted fluorescence decreases in demineralized tooth regions.

Reflectance effect
Due to increased light scattering, tooth areas with early caries exhibit stronger diffuse reflectance than sound tooth structures—which in turn causes incipient caries to have a “white spot” appearance.

Most sensitive results
FIRE combines caries signals from fluorescence and reflectance effects to detect incipient caries at a stage when either effect, when taken alone, may be too weak to be recognizable. As a result, by utilizing both fluorescence and reflectance information, FIRE provides the most sensitive results.

Efficient Examinations
Unlike other caries detection devices, the CS 1600’s unique “scan and detect” technology improves workflow and promotes faster examinations by identifying exact areas of concern. As a result, you can:

• Eliminate taking and recording multiple readings for each tooth by hand
• Replace cumbersome “pinpoint” exam protocols 
• Receive information directly on your monitor during video scans, with areas of interest automatically highlighted
• Quickly capture necessary data without removing the device from the patient’s mouth after each reading

Improved Communication
Involve your patients in the diagnostic and treatment processes with the CS 1600. 

• Clear, colorful images and numerical display allow your patients see what you see
• Better patient understanding can lead to more informed treatment decisions
• Enhance your office reputation as a “high-tech” practice
• Improve your patient experience and increase referral opportunities 

Superb Image Quality
The CS 1600 makes capturing clear, detailed clinical images simple: 

• True autofocus with patented liquid lens technology works like the human eye 
• No manual adjustments required when focusing on objects—camera adjusts automatically based on distance 
• Wide focus range makes taking intra- and extraoral images easy
• Capture exceptionally clear images with the highest still image resolution in the industry (1024 x 768)
• Obtain a variety of images, from smile to full arch to macro views
• Independent portrait mode ensures perfect patient portraits

Intelligent Illumination
Featuring a three-layer 18-LED lighting system, the CS 1600 delivers consistently powerful illumination.

• Automatic lighting system adjusts to current lighting condition 
• Obtain optimally illuminated images in any environment
• Optional polarization filter removes unwanted reflection to ensure contrasted, true-to-life views

Ergonomically Designed
The CS 1600 is designed to provide ultimate comfort for its users:

• Compact and lightweight design fits comfortably in anyone’s hands
• Two acquisition buttons (located on the front and backside) ensure smooth operation for both upper and lower arches
• One-click image capture makes acquiring videos and still images quick and simple
  Convenient LED on/off button 

Easy to Use, Easy to Share
The CS 1600 redefines usability: 

• Multi-functional tool serves as both a diagnostic and patient education aid
• Convenient “plug and play” USB 3.0 technology makes sharing between operatories easy
• TWAIN compatibility ensures smooth integration with existing imaging software
