It works by highlighting differences in how healthy enamel and dentin transmit and scatter light compared with cracks or decay. Dentists most commonly use it during routine exams and cavity detection, especially between teeth. It can also support evaluation of cracks, existing fillings, and some soft-tissue findings, depending on the device."}
