Preliminary study of distribution of mechanical properties and mineral density by depth of liquid saturated carious dentine

Abstract Fissure caries in a form of brown spot lesion is serious problem for patients. Having passed the dentine-enamel junction, cariogenic bacteria cause demineralization dentine its vicinity. Over time, area spreads deeper towards pulp tooth, creating gradient strength characteristics dentine. The aim this work was to determine mechanical properties and mineral density direction from junction dental using nanoindentation X-ray computed microtomography. results can be used as control ones further research remineralization techniques clinical practice.
