Electronically measures in seconds the thickness of the dentine layer above the pulp chamber during crown preparation with a simple touch of the probe for safe preparation and guaranteed pulp protection

Gives the dentist the ability to accurately and safely prepare the tooth with the help of digital LED read-out:

Green Light - Safe zone

Orange Light - Limit of safe zone

Red Light - Danger of penetrating through the dentine layer

Allows the safe preparation of "delicate cases" (elongated, tilted or deciduous teeth)

Easy to learn and adapt to current prosthodontic procedures

The "crowning or capping" of vital teeth is an every day procedure in prosthodontics. Whenever crown preparation occurs, tooth structure needs to be removed while maintaining a safe distance from the pulp chamber (0.7 mm of dentine is required above the pulp for adult teeth and 1.4 mm for deciduous teeth).

How does PREPOMETER work: Non-invasive (safe) electrical current is passed along the dentinal tubules; thereby, creating measurable electrical resistance. Low electrical resistance then indicates a thin layer of dentine, high resistance indicates a thick dentine layer.

Patient specific tooth information is visually received from the LED display and safe preparation is achieved while never risking a tooth's vitality. Even the most difficult cases are now possible.
