Visual examination or inspection of the teeth, especially using optical instruments.
From Greek 'ede-' (tooth) + '-scopy' (examination or viewing). This medical term combines the tooth root with the '-scopy' suffix used for all examination procedures that involve looking at something.
Before dental mirrors and cameras, edeoscopy was limited to what dentists could see with their naked eye—now digital edeoscopy lets dentists spot decay so small it's invisible to human vision alone.
