SOPROCARE
An Unmatchable Communication Tool
Increase case acceptance and easily highlight caries, plaque, calculus and gingival inflammation.
An Unmatchable Communication Tool
Increase case acceptance and easily highlight caries, plaque, calculus and gingival inflammation.
Use for patient's portrait, single tooth, quadrant, arch, or smile images.
Caries are detected as red, while the surrounding tissue is displayed in black and white.
Use to highlight gingival inflammation, plaque, and calculus. Gingival inflammation ranges from hues of pink to magenta, plaque is grainy white, and calculus ranges from yellow to dark orange (the older the calculus, the darker it will fluoresce).
3 modes for 3 needs: Daylight Mode, Caries Mode and Perio Mode
Highlight plaque, gingival inflammation and caries
With the SOPROCARE it becomes easy to show the need of a treatment to the patient in an impressive way on the one hand, and the result of the therapy on the other.
Due to the reproducibility of the results the SOPROCARE allows to draw up easily a generalized prophylaxis- and periodontology-status that can be observed for long periods and outline treatment requirements. The entire SOPROCARE package is completed by a DAYLIGHT mode, and simplifies the daily education work and allows the patient to understand the processes that lead to mouth diseases and the necessity of treatment. Again to simplify the workflow, the SOPROCARE camera device was built completely compatible to all other camera devices of Acteon Sopro. The plug of the connection cable is identical, so the devices can be changed easily, depending on the treatment that is recommended. The use of the Sopro imaging software is identical as well, as long as a SOPROLIFE camera device is already integrated in the system, it is even not necessary to install new drivers. […] The possibility to easily change the camera devices, the intuitive and handy software solution keeps it simple to integrate the SOPROCARE into everyday workflow and gives us another very attractive component for an individualized patient treatment”

Soprocare has become an integral part of my practice as an educational tool for the patients and a diagnostic tool for myself and my hygienist.
Being able to monitor progress of the periodontal status and treatment over a long period of time allows the practitioner to better educate the patient on treatment required with a visual aid. It is a tool that is simple to use and allows the practitioner a holistic approach with a simple workflow.
My practice has become more streamline with the use of the Acteon Sopro products as they are all interchangeable and we now have the tools to complete a thorough examination with visual aid for patients, that allows for better patient education.
Dr. Fadi Yassmin, Broadway Dental, Sydney, Australia.
Inflammation, plaque accumulation and gingivitis are terms we use everyday to educate and improve our patients home care. We did not have a way to show them exactly what we meant. We can now! SoproCARE is the newest addition to my practice. It puts excitement into my hygienists and assistants hands while adding increased value to every appointment.
Patients can see for themselves the pathogens that lead to bleeding gums and sensitivity as well as caries detection. All patients will benefit from the next great phase of intraoral cameras…SoproCARE.
D.D.S. Jason Dunville, PC, USA.
SoproCare has been an incredible addition to our diagnostic exams. Having the ability to detect caries, old and new plaque and gingival inflammation with one device streamlines our exams and we love it.
D.D.S. Ron Kaminer, USA.
Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in our population. We need instruments in our practice to compel patients to treat this disease. The SoproCARE Camera dramatically depicts biofilm, new and old tartar deposits, and gingival inflammation in a way never seen before! Our team loves it!
Dr. Jeffrey Rosenberg, Philadelphia, USA.
The use of an intraoral camera is invaluable for documentation, diagnosis and patient education. Although there are many in the marketplace, some excel in resolution, lighting and ability to “zoom” in on specific areas. When a patient presents with a “broken” tooth the dental professional merely has to show the image on a screen and in many instances the patient actually makes the preliminary diagnosis. Fractures, broken restorations, missing cusps etc are all obvious to the patient allowing the dentist to explain the type of restoration necessary. Less obvious might be incipient caries or gingival inflammation. Here is where the SoproCare device becomes a Swiss army knife of diagnosis/education. The optical quality and LED lighting is among the best. The macro function is quite crisp in showing even subtle enamel or restoration fractures. Even in asymptomatic teeth a patient can be alerted to existing fractures which could lead to larger problems. It is up to the practitioner’s (or often the patient’s) philosophy as to how proactive they should be with treatment.
The caries mode clearly shows red/orange areas on a black and white background allowing both the practitioner and patient to agree on treatment. There are still uncertainties when the practitioner finds a “stick” even in this day of digital radiography, some lesions are not obvious making this an invaluable tool.
Gingival inflammation and plaque are less clear with even the best resolution camera, but in the “perio mode” of the SoproCare these areas are “lit up”. The patient (and practitioner) sees dramatic highlighted areas, promoting improved home care as well as treatment.
It is important for a device like this be available in all treatment rooms. The hygienists should have one for reinforcement during the recare appointments. The dental assistant can surely take an image when a patient is seated for treatment or emergency and of course the dentist can take before, during and after pictures of treatment. One of the side uses of the caries mode is its ability to detect caries during preparation to instantly see if there is any residual caries prior to completing the restoration or taking the impression. Acteon makes this availability easy by allowing each room to have the cable and software while the SoproCare has a quick disconnect allowing the office to function with fewer units at the outset. This cable is also compatible with many of their other camera units.
The bottom line is that if a practitioner has this multi-use camera available at the practitioner’s fingertips, it will be used on almost every patient every day and the office will wonder how it ever functioned without it.

I just wanted to give you feedback regarding the SOPROCARE Intra Oral Camera I used recently.
WOW WOW WOW. We truly loved it.
Both hygienists and our principal dentist use it.
It clearly shows plaque deposits so brilliantly without having to disclose the patient.
The patient clearly sees where the film of plaque was sitting. The decalcification areas are also clearly visible.
Appointment times are now shorter as we don’t need to use a disclosing solution to do a full clean.
Our patients even commented on how they thought the staff had done a great clean and clearly hadn't left some camouflaged plaque and deposits behind.
SOPROCARE is great for patient compliance and acceptance I feel.
Thank you for introducing SOPROCARE to us, it has been a great tool and I look forward to using again and again. »
Michelle Tetley, Australia
Every so often I come across a tool, a piece of technology that is a “no brainer” that every dentist should have. The Soprocare camera fits this description. I have been an advocate for Intra-Oral Cameras for years, and with the SoproCare we not only get the tremendous value of a camera, but we add the powerful benefits of cavity detection, and Perio detection. All three of these together create a tremendous value when discussing treatment with patients. Helping patients understand what they need, and why they would benefit is a key part of Hygiene’s role as a Patient Treatment Advocate.
The Soprocare can help us maximize this role, and serve our patients at a much higher level.

In this complete case, the regression of severe gingival inflammation can be observed. The efficiency of prophylactic treatments can be appreciated.
A slight yellow color can persist after cleaning because food pigments contained in the depos
After scaling
1 - White and smooth : absence of young dental plaque
2 - Slight yellow staining : detritus penetrated in the enamel
3 - Swelling and magenta red border : severe gingival inflammation increased due to of the scaling
After one week of better hygiene
1 - White and smooth: absence of dental plaque
2 - Slight staining: detritus penetrated into the enamel
3 - Magenta pink border: less severe gingival inflammation
After polishing
1 - White and smooth : no dental plaque
2 - Magenta pink border : less severe gingival inflammation
After two weeks
1 - White and smooth: absence of dental plaque
2 - White and smooth: no dental plaque
3 - Pink gum: inflammation almost healthy
Some inter collagen links are broken because of an acid attack which induces a fluorescence signal modification. The food detritus fluoresce also in red, so if there is a red alert in CARIO mode, make a professional cleaning to confirm the caries.
When the dental plaque is calcifying, external bacteria (foods, sugar, etc.) are caught.
This is because the plaque is not calcified, and the bacteria are not caught yet.
With SOPROCARE, the detritus and active caries appear in red and the arrested caries appear in black.
Indeed slight staining can remain because some detritus have penetrated into the enamel
The color of the dental plaque can be different depending on dietary habits and degrees of calcification of the plaque. The more the plaque is old, the more bacterias have developed and the more it will be orange.
Yes, the DAYLIGHT mode of SOPROCARE is as effective as the DAYLIGHT mode of SOPROLIFE.

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.
The protective tip allows to isolate SOPROCARE 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.
SOPROCARE 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.
