Virtual instrument for early detecting dental decay using electrical impedance measurement method

Abstract

The paper presents a virtual instrument used to diagnose dental caries using NI data acquisition device and LabVIEW software. We also use two electrodes to measure dental impedance and the results respect the domain literature. Combining hardware and software resources we obtain a flexible and versatile interface very friendly with the user (dentist). Compared to known methods our method is very simple, fast and does not cause pain to patient.
