The FLUOROLOG® system provides a quantitative assessment of tooth decay, via the FLUOROLOG®’s exclusive strong stray-light rejection, and ability to detect IR fluorescence. The FLUOROLOG®-Tau accessory provides an additional dimension of discrimination. With these data, new dental treatments and products may be assessed. Further work may lead to a quick, convenient method of tracing decay.

数据显示，我国口腔疾病的患病率已经达到 90%，是高患病率的疾病。而口腔的健康与否大多与牙齿相关，常见的修复牙齿方法是通过牙种植体安装假牙。 牙种植体是通过外科手术的方式将其植入人体缺牙部位的上下颌骨内，待其手术伤口愈合后，在其上部安装修复假牙的装置。扫描电镜能够观察牙种植体表面形貌，并对微区成分进行鉴定。
