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...

FT-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.

اثر 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...
