That seems to be "Laser Fluorescence Cavity Detection", brand name "DIAGNOdent" (for all the people asking where to find him, I guess you can ask for this by name).

But it's not a perfect system - detection is about 80% to 90%, http://jdr.sagepub.com/content/83/suppl_1/C80/T1.expansion.h...

80% to 90% sounds massively better than x-ray.
