Selective Removal of Natural Occlusal Caries by Coupling Near-infrared Imaging with a CO2 Laser
You-Chen Tao and Daniel Fried Laser removal of dental hard tissue can be combined with optical, spectral or acoustic feedback systems to selectively ablate dental caries and restorative materials. Near-infrared (NIR) imaging has considerable potential for the optical discrimination of sound and demineralized tissue. Last year we ... [Proc. SPIE Int. Soc. Opt.
