Laser Ultrasonic Technique for Evaluating Human Dental Enamel
نویسندگان
چکیده
A non-destructive laser ultrasonic surface acoustic wave technique has been demonstrated to quantitatively evaluate the elastic response of human dental enamel. We demonstrate the system performance by measuring surface acoustic wave velocity in sound and demineralised enamel. In addition, progressive measurements were made to monitor the change in the enamel elasticity during a two week remineralisation process. The results are presented and they confirm the efficacy, as well as illuminating the progress, of the treatment.

Laser ultrasonic evaluation of human dental enamel during remineralization treatment
In this work a non-destructive laser ultrasonic technique is used to quantitatively evaluate the progressive change in the elastic response of human dental enamel during a remineralization treatment. The condition of the enamel was measured during two weeks treatment using laser generated and detected surface acoustic waves in sound and demineralized enamel. Analysis of the acoustic velocity di...
متن کاملFT-Raman Spectroscopic Studies of Nd/YAG Laser Irradiated Human Dental Enamel
FTR-Raman Spectra of human dental enamel, both laser-irradiated and untreated, are reported. Spectra are compared with hydroxyapatite. It is evident that unlike the CO2 laser, the Nd/YAG laser does not induce any chemical change in dental enamel.
متن کاملاثر لیزر دیود و لیزر CO2 همراه با وارنیش سدیم فلوراید بر روی ریزسختی مینای دندان شیری
Background and purpose: Prevention of dental caries is one of the primary goals in dentistry. Application of fluoride decreased dental demineralization but the preventive ability of this fluoride is limited. Nowadays different investigations into dental erosion focused on the preventive effect of laser irradiation. The purpose of this applied study was to assess the effect of diode laser (&lamb...
متن کاملمروری بر اثر کاربرد ترکیبی تابش لیزر و استفاده از فلوراید در پیشگیری از پوسیدگی
Background and Aims: Despite significant decline in dental caries in recent decades, the disease remains a public health problem especially in developing countries. In recent years combined application of laser and fluoride has been introduced as a new caries-preventive measure. The purpose of the present study was to review the literature on the preventive effect of combined application of ...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of dental surface treatment with Er:YAG , Nd:YAG ,CO2 lasers and sodium ascorbate to recently laser bleached enamel by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Methods: 15caries-free extracted human third molars were selected for this study. The samples were bleached by Heydent JW power activated by diode laser 810 nm. After 7 d...
