According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a multi-functional dental diagnostic tool designed for the efficient and accurate detection of cracked teeth or cracked tooth syndrome. This 4-in-1 handheld device integrates transillumination, a magnification mirror, an explorer, and a plastic platform with a notch, enabling comprehensive dental assessments in a non-invasive, pain-free manner. The transillumination function utilizes a focused light source to enhance crack visibility while the magnification mirror provides an enlarged and detailed view. The explorer allows for tactile detection of irregularities, and the plastic platform applies controlled occlusal pressure to assess pain responses associated with cracks. This device streamlines the diagnostic process, eliminates the need for multiple instruments, and enhances early detection, leading to improved clinical outcomes."
