  		Figure 3. Longitudinal section of a tooth with dentinal caries under a macroscopically intact surface and two positions of the DIAGNOdent tip A. Left: No increased fluorescence can be measured, because the excitation fiber is in the center of the tip. Right: Only after the tip is tilted can the maximum fluorescence be measured.
