Evaluation of enamel dental restoration interface by optical coherence tomography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evaluation of molar dental restorations on enamel is performed using optical coherence tomography (OCT) with 10 microm resolution. Images of approximately 50 microm failure gaps in the restorations are demonstrated and the OCT images are compared with x-ray and optical microscopy pictures. The results demonstrate the potential of the technique for clinical evaluation of dental restorations.

Non-destructive assessment of cavity wall adaptation of class V composite restoration using swept-source optical coherence tomography.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate gap formations under class V restoration using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). Wedge-shaped cavities were prepared on the buccal surface of 40 extracted premolar teeth at 2 locations; 1) cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) with enamel and cementum margin and 2) root surfaces with cementum margin. The cavity was treated with Clearfil S(3) B...
متن کاملOptical coherence tomography for evaluation of enamel and protective coatings.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an interferometric imaging technique. This study aimed to employ OCT to evaluate four different resin-based materials including a coating containing glass-ionomer filler and calcium, a giomer, and two fluoride-releasing self-etch resins. The coating and its underlying and adjacent enamel were monitored using swept-source OCT (center wavelength: 1330 nm) at ...
متن کاملEn-Face Optical Coherence Tomography and Fluorescence in Evaluation of Orthodontic Interfaces
Bonding has become a routine procedure in several dental specialties – from prosthodontics to conservative dentistry and even orthodontics. In many of these fields it is important to be able to investigate the bonded interfaces to assess their quality. All currently employed investigative methods are invasive, meaning that samples are destroyed in the testing procedure and cannot be used again....
متن کاملRemineralization of in vitro dental caries assessed with polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography.
Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) is potentially useful for imaging the nonsurgical remineralization of dental enamel. This study uses an all-fiber-based PS-OCT system operating at 1310 nm to image demineralized and fluoride-enhanced remineralized artificial lesions. PS-OCT images of lesions before and after remineralization are compared with the relative mineral loss...
متن کاملClinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography in Ophthalmology
Assessment of the peripapillary nerve fiber layer and macular thickness can be determined in ophthalmology using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Decreased nerve fiber layer thickness and macular ganglion cell thickness in optic nerve ischemia have been correlated with visual field loss. OCT allows deep optic nerve head evaluation which helps understand pathophysiology of diseases. Furtherm...
