BETTER DIAGNOSIS, BETTER LIFE
SOPROLIFE is an excellent tool to identify and excavate decay. Daylight, diagnostic and treatment modes aid in effective, minimally invasive treatment while preserving healthy tissue.
In white light, from Portrait to Macro, SOPROLIFE produces unequalled quality of image. This mode not only enables you to communicate more effectively with your patients, but also gives you the ability to see details which are invisible to the naked eye.
SOPROLIFE® is more accurate in identifying the development of occlusal and/or proximal carious lesions. This mode can help speed up the decision making process in treatment planning and enables safer options for the patients without ionizing radiation.
Clinical performance is enhanced as SOPROLIFE enables you to visually differentiate between infected and healthy tissue in the excavated site.
The blue LEDs we selected emit light at 450nm. This wavelength excites dentine which, in reaction, sends a light signal named fluorescence. The fluorescence signal reflected is very small (low intensity) compared to the 450nm intensity sent by the blue LEDs.
If the treatment aid mode is used for diagnosis purpose, we will obtain on screen an amplification of the red and thus get many « false alerts » due to organic deposits in the mouth of the patient. All these organic deposits generate un very light signal of red fluorescence. If the Mode II was used for the detection a caries, a complete cleaning of the mouth would be necessary to avoid these “false alerts”. The diagnosis aid mode, far less sensitive to all these organic deposits , allows to avoid these « false alerts ».
Yes, SOPROLIFE can magnify the image up x 115. Can SOPROLIFE also be used as a classical intra-oral camera? Yes, SOPROLIFE is the only concept in the world proposing two different visions. The Daylight mode allows the dentist to use SOPROLIFE as an intra-oral camera under white light for the communication with his patient. The image quality supplied by SOPROLIFE under white light is superior to the others intra-oral cameras.
Yes, we supply specific connection docks to integrate SOPROLIFE in most dental units.
If you work in several examination rooms, each of them can be equipped with a docking station linked to the computer or to the video screen available in this room so that you can carry and use SOPROLIFE in each of the examination rooms.
Yes, SOPROLIFE can be delivered with a connection dock with Video and S-Video outputs.
If you already have a Sopro 595, a Sopro 617 or a Sopro 717, you can connect SOPROLIFE hand piece on your present installation without any parameter settings.
No.
No, it is useless to clean prior the first diagnostic in "mode I" of SOPROLIFE. Cleaning with sodium bicarbonate of the suspicious fissure(s) is recommended in order to confirm the carious signal.
No, SOPROLIFE emits no ultra-violet wave.
Yes, of course. SOPROLIFE is free from any ionizing rays and is the perfect caries diagnosis aid tool for children and pregnant women.
No.
No. SOPROLIFE must be used with intra-oral barriers supplied with the product. You can contact your dealer to purchase other dental barriers.
Yes, they can be sterilized at 134°C - 2 bars - 18 minutes. We nevertheless advise you to change these tips after about fifty cycles of sterilization.
According to the pathologies of the tooth (destructured enamel, affected dentine, anfractuous fissure, presence of a crown…), the signal of fluorescence of the dentine will be different (weaker, darker, redder, absent…)
When SOPROLIFE generates a red fluorescence in a fissure, it is either due to a caries or to organic deposits. In this case a cleaning (pounce bag, air abrasion linked to Na bicarbonate ) is advised only in the suspicious fissure in order to avoid a falser alert.
The spectrum of the signal of fluorescence (let’s call it "its color") is rather in the green when the dentine is healthy and red/dark when the dentine is infected.
The light must cross the enamel to excite the dentine. Following this excitation, the dentine send back a signal of fluorescence which must cross the enamel to be interpreted. The thicker the enamel is, the weaker the signal of fluorescence is. The intensity of the green light will be weaker and gradually tinted with blue (because of the way through enamel). This is the case for the cusps
To shift from Mode I (Diagnosis) to Mode II (Treatment) but also to DAYLIGHT Mode (White light).
The protective tip allows to isolate SOPROLIFE from any external light during its use in Fluorescence mode. It is also advised to move the light of the scialytic so that it is not directed at the patient’s mouth.
SOPROLIFE is equipped with a SoproTouch (Sopro trademark). You just have to brush the SoproTouch once the selected image appears on screen. The image is automatically freezed on screen and saved in your software if it is configured accordingly. If you prefer using a remote control pedal rather than the SoproTouch to freeze the image, you just have to plug the pedal (supplied as option) on the docking station (if this one is equipped with a pedal input). In this configuration, the SoproTouch is inhibited.
Yes, because SOPROCARE can be delivered with a docking station with a USB 2.0 output.

Yes, SOPROLIFE is compatible with all imaging softwares.
Yes. If you do not have any imaging software or want to use the Sopro Imaging software for its friendly-use, it is supplied with SOPROLIFE.
Sopro Imaging proposes, further to its standard image acquisition mode, a mode of acquisition and of consultation offering a complete dental status of the patient. This status gives also access to a very useful comparison mode during the follow-up of the patient in time as well as a direct access to the consultation of the Clinical booklet.
Our camera drivers will load and correctly function under Windows 7, 8 and 10 in both the 32 and 64 bit environments. Please be sure to direct the Microsoft Hardware Wizard to use the drivers on the CD or to use those downloaded from our website. You may receive a warning that the driver set is unsigned but this can be safely ignored.
SOPROLIFE can be cleaned with a disinfecting wipe (Type Septol from Pierre Rolland).
