A CLINICALLY APPLICABLE LASER LUMINESCENCE METHOD FOR THE EARLY DETECTION OF DENTAL CARIES.

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

I is well-known that dental enamel and dentine luminesce when exited by light in the ultraviolet and short-wave visible range and that this luminescence is different in intact and carious tooth substance. This effect has been proposed as a means for detection early enamel caries but the methods applied have generally involved extensive protective measures against ultraviolet radiation and complicated detection systems.
