Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for performing dental diagnostics by inducing vibrations in a first dental object using a vibratory transducer; picking up at a receiver vibrations transmitted by the vibratory transducers; capturing vibrations from an second dental object and comparing the captured vibrations against a database of known dental characteristics; and generating a dental diagnostic.
