Diagnosis of Tooth Decay Using Polarized Micro-raman Confocal Spectroscopy
نویسنده
چکیده
The tooth enamel presents a Raman spectrum with strong polarization anisotropy. Carious lesions of the enamel will produce an alteration of local symmetry. This will reduce the anisotropy of the Raman spectra. Thus micro-Raman polarized spectroscopy could be a used in early detection of teeth caries.

On the sensitivity of thermophotonic lock-in imaging and polarized Raman spectroscopy to early dental caries diagnosis.
Dental caries is the leading cause of tooth loss, which can promptly be prevented if detected in early stages of progression. Unfortunately, conventional diagnostic modalities currently used in dentistry lack the sensitivity to detect early caries. The authors' intention is to compare the ability of polarized Raman spectroscopy and thermophotonic imaging to make early caries diagnosis. Extracte...
متن کاملEarly detection of biomolecular changes in disrupted porcine cartilage using polarized Raman spectroscopy.
We evaluate the feasibility of applying polarized Raman spectroscopy in probing the early biochemical compositions and orientation changes in impacted porcine cartilage explants. We divide 100 fresh tibial cartilage explants into four groups: control (unimpacted) and 3 groups of single impact at 15, 20, and 25 MPa. Each group is examined for biochemical changes using Raman microscopy, cell viab...

متن کامل3D Temperature Measurement in IC Chips using Confocal Raman Spectroscopy
We have demonstrated the feasibility of depth and surface temperature measurements in active areas of semiconductor devices using confocal Raman spectroscopy. Using micro heaters, we created a 3D temperature profile across micron size volume. We determined the temperature profile with sub-micron resolution and obtained good agreement with calculations. Theoretical uncertainty in temperature det...
متن کاملConfocal Microscope Studies of MoS2 Layer Thickness
We have been studying micro-luminescence of various exfoliated MoS2 akes using a confocal microscope. A crucial issue is to determine thickness of the investigated layer. The common way using atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy or the Raman spectroscopy requires moving the sample out from the confocal microscope experimental setup and looking for a particular exfoliated ake hidden amon...
