Global Caries Detection Device Market Trends
The caries detection device market is characterized by growing adoption but still relatively low penetration, as many dentists continue to rely on traditional diagnostic methods such as radiography and visual examination. However, increasing awareness of early-stage detection and preventive dentistry is supporting gradual adoption across both segments.
Global Caries Detection Device Market Share Insights
- KaVo was the leading competitor in the global caries detection device market in 2025. The company led the non-imaging-based device market with DIAGNOdent® Classic and DIAGNOdent® Pen. The products utilize laser fluorescence to aid in the detection of caries within the tooth structure. Depending on the level of fluorescence exhibited, the device returns a scale reading to quantify the degree of caries present. KaVo’s market dominance is the result of its early entry into the market and its distribution agreement with Henry Schein.
- Acteon was the second-leading competitor in the global caries detection device market in 2025. Acteon’s SOPROLIFE® and SOPROCARE® devices are popular choices among dentists, and they allowed the company to capture approximately one-third of the imaging-based caries detection device market. Acteon’s products are distributed through both Henry Schein and Patterson Dental. Acteon has helped to drive innovation in this field with its combined camera and caries detection device unit.
- Dürr Dental was the third-leading competitor in the global digital caries detection device market in 2025. The company was most active in Europe, especially Germany and Austria. Dürr Dental sells its VistaCam iX™ device, which comes with five different heads, one of which is an image-based caries detection device that uses fluorescent technology to identify lesions on the visible tooth surfaces and in dental fissures. Another head is indicated for proximal caries detection through infrared technology. VistaCam iX™ can visualize the different types of plaque without the need for coloring agents. The system also features in-depth documentation of the results that can be connected directly to a dentist’s patient database in order to facilitate easy patient recordkeeping. VistaCam iX™ is also available in HD variation enabling high-resolution images.
