The VELscope Vx Dental Fluorescence Device uses advanced Wide-Field Optical Fluorescence (WFOF) technology to enhance oral soft tissue examinations, supporting oral cancer screening, periodontal assessment, implant maintenance, and comprehensive preventive dentistry.
The VELscope Vx Dental Fluorescence Device is the world’s leading Wide-Field Optical Fluorescence (WFOF) system designed to enhance conventional oral examinations by allowing clinicians to visualise changes in oral soft tissues that may not be visible under normal white light.
Using advanced WFOF (Wide-Field Optical Fluorescence) technology, VELscope illuminates oral tissues with a safe blue light (400–460 nm), revealing natural tissue fluorescence. Healthy tissues emit a characteristic green fluorescence, while areas with altered cellular metabolism, vascularity, collagen structure, inflammation, infection, trauma, dysplasia or malignancy display a visible loss of fluorescence, appearing darker than surrounding tissues.
Unlike traditional visual examinations, WFOF provides an additional layer of clinical information, supporting earlier recognition of tissue abnormalities and helping clinicians make more informed decisions regarding monitoring, documentation, referral, biopsy or treatment planning.
VELscope Vx Dental Fluorescence Device Wide-Field Optical Fluorescence (WFOF) Technology
Although internationally recognised for assisting the early detection of oral potentially malignant disorders, the VELscope Vx is increasingly being used throughout modern dentistry for comprehensive oral soft tissue assessment.
Its Wide-Field Optical Fluorescence (WFOF) technology supports clinicians across numerous dental disciplines by improving visualisation of tissue health and assisting documentation throughout patient care.
Supports visualisation of:
The device serves as an adjunct to conventional visual and tactile examination and may help clinicians identify abnormalities at an earlier stage.

VELscope Vx Dental Fluorescence Device Wide-Field Optical Fluorescence (WFOF) Technology
Natural oral tissues contain fluorophores that emit fluorescence when excited by specific blue wavelengths.
The VELscope projects high-intensity blue light between 400–460 nm onto the oral tissues.
Healthy tissue fluoresces bright green.
When tissue undergoes metabolic, structural or vascular changes caused by inflammation, infection, trauma or dysplastic transformation, fluorescence is reduced or lost, creating darker areas that may warrant further clinical evaluation.
This fluorescence imaging complements traditional reflected white-light examination rather than replacing it.
VELscope Vx Dental Fluorescence Device Wide-Field Optical Fluorescence (WFOF) Technology
Traditional oral examinations rely solely on reflected white light.
VELscope introduces Wide-Field Optical Fluorescence (WFOF) imaging, allowing clinicians to observe tissue characteristics that cannot be appreciated under standard illumination.
Using both examination methods together provides a more comprehensive assessment while reducing the likelihood of overlooking clinically significant tissue changes.
VELscope integrates easily into routine appointments.
It requires:
The examination adds only a few minutes to routine oral health assessments.
The bright fluorescence response enables straightforward clinical photography for:
Adding VELscope examinations can help practices:
VELscope Vx Dental Fluorescence Device Wide-Field Optical Fluorescence (WFOF) Technology
VELscope is intended for use by dentists and healthcare professionals as an adjunct to conventional oral examination under incandescent or LED white light to enhance visualisation of oral mucosal abnormalities that may not be apparent to the unaided eye.
It is also intended to assist oral surgeons in identifying diseased tissue surrounding clinically apparent lesions to aid in determining appropriate surgical excision margins.

Wide-Field Optical Fluorescence (WFOF) uses blue excitation light to reveal natural tissue fluorescence, helping clinicians visualise oral soft tissue abnormalities that may not be visible under conventional lighting.
No. While it is widely recognised for assisting oral cancer screening, VELscope is also valuable for evaluating inflammatory lesions, periodontal disease, peri-implant tissues, traumatic lesions, oral medicine cases, prosthodontic assessments and routine preventive examinations.
No. VELscope is an adjunctive examination device that complements, rather than replaces, standard visual and tactile oral examinations.
No. The examination is completely painless, non-invasive and requires no rinses, dyes or injections.
Most examinations are completed in approximately 2 minutes, making it easy to integrate into routine hygiene and dental appointments.
Yes. VELscope supports straightforward clinical photography for documentation, referrals and long-term lesion monitoring.
No. The system does not require any per-patient consumables, making it highly cost-effective for routine clinical use.
