Non-destructive assessment of inhibition of demineralization in dental enamel irradiated by a = 9.3-µm CO2 laser at ablative irradiation intensities with PS-OCT
www3.interscience.wiley.com (Jun 21 2008)
Dentistry
Background and Objective Polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) has great promise for the non-destructive assessment of the efficacy of anti-caries agents such as fluoride and thermal laser treatments on enamel surfaces. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that PS-OCT can be used to measure demineralization in craters/incisions prepared in enamel by a CO2 laser operating at the high irradiation intensities required for cavity preparations. Materials and Methods ...

Diagnosis of Vertical Root Fractures with Optical Coherence Tomography
jendodon.com (May 24 2008)
Dentistry
The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the ability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to image vertical root fractures (VRFs). Twenty-five mandibular premolars were prepared to size 50. Five teeth served as controls. Group 1 (n = 10) was treated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and ultrasonic irrigation, whereas group 2 (n = 10) received no further treatments. Teeth from groups 1 and 2 were fractured, and the presence of a ...

Dentistry
Meda L. Negrutiu, Cosmin Sinescu, Michael Hughes et al. The root canal fillings are destined to seal the root canal especially in the apical areea. Invasive techniques are known which are used to assess the quality of the seal. These lead to the destruction of the probes and often no conclusion could be drawn in respect to the existence of any microleaka ... [Proc. SPIE Int. Soc. Opt. Eng. 6991, ...
Investigation of bracket bonding for orthodontic treatments using en-face optical coherence tomography

Cosmin Sinescu, Meda L. Negrutiu, Michael Hughes et al. Despite good diagnosis and treatment planning, orthodontic treatment can fail if bonding fails. It is now common practice to address the aesthetic appearance of patients using aesthetic brackets instead of metal ones. Therefore, bonding aesthetic brackets has become an issue for orthodontists today. ... [Proc. SPIE Int. Soc. Opt. Eng. 6991, 69911M (2008)] published Fri May 2, 2008.

Optical coherence tomography imaging
A digitized image of an object may include representations of portions of the object that are obscured, occluded or otherwise unobservable. The image may be a multi-dimensional visual representation of dentition. Characteristics of the dentition and its surfaces, contours, and shape may be determined and/or analyzed. A light may be directed toward and reflected from the dentition. The reflected light may be combined with a reference to determine characteristics of ...

LOW COHERENCE DENTAL OCT IMAGING
A method for obtaining an image of a tooth obtains an area image of the tooth (20) surface and identifies a region of interest from the area image by positioning a marker (146) on the area image. The marker (146) corresponds to at least a portion of the region of interest and identifies a scanning area. An optical coherence tomography (OCT) image is then obtained over the scanning area.
