AdDent Microlux DW™ Illuminator

Experience advanced clinical diagnostics with the Microlux DW™ Illuminator, a dual-wavelength tool designed to streamline and elevate dental examinations. With both white light and 405 nm fluorescence illumination modes, this handheld device offers immediate visual clarity for a broad range of clinical applications.

The white light mode allows for fast, reliable detection of fractures, caries, and structural defects, while the blue-violet fluorescence mode highlights bacterial presence and biofilm activity—especially useful in managing cases involving peri-implantitis, periodontitis, and early-stage decay. Other features and benefits include:

• Evaluating enamel cracks and restorations.
• Spotting early carious lesions and demineralization.
• Identifying residual bacteria post-cleaning or root planing.
• Enhancing patient communication through visible biofilm detection.

By simplifying diagnosis and improving visualization, the Microlux DW™ supports more precise treatments, faster decision-making, and better patient outcomes—all in one compact, cordless device.

Q: What clinical applications is the Microlux™ DW best suited for?

A: The Microlux™ DW is ideal for detecting cracks, fractures, internal tooth structures, and early carious lesions. It also highlights active bacteria and biofilm, supporting diagnostics for periodontal disease, peri-implantitis, and endodontic infections.

Q: How does the fluorescence mode help identify biofilm and plaque?

A: The 405 nm fluorescence light highlights bacterial activity by making biofilm and plaque fluoresce. This allows for more targeted hygiene treatment and improved patient education.

Q: Is the device safe to use on all patients?

A: Yes, the Microlux™ DW uses cool LED lighting that is safe for routine intraoral use. It is non-invasive, latex-free, and designed for daily clinical applications.

Q: How long does the battery last, and how is it charged?

A: The internal rechargeable battery lasts up to one week under normal use. It fully recharges in approximately 2.5 hours using the included USB-compatible wall plug-in charger.

Q: Can I use my existing Microlux accessories with the DW model?

A: Yes, the Microlux™ DW is compatible with all existing Microlux light guides and attachments, ensuring seamless integration into your current workflow.
