En‑face optical coherence tomography analysis of gold and silver nanoparticles in endodontic irrigating solutions: An in vitro study

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non‑invasive, non‑radioactive optical diagnostic method based on low‑coherence interferometry, which achieves images with different orientation. In dentistry, its major advantage is represented by the localization and characterization of the smallest defects in hard dental tissues, dental materials and of the smallest details in dental anatomy (supplementary canals, recesses, isthmuses, or intra‑radicular connections). The aim of the present in vitro study was to evaluate using c‑scan en‑face optical coherence tomography, the optical opacity, and the distribution inside the root canal lumen of several extracted human teeth of silver and ...
