1. Shedding New Light on Early Caries Detection

   Explore Article The Canadian Dental Association (Jan 8 2009) Dentistry

   Dental caries continues to be a common chronic disease among various population groups. Patient care can be improved with detection at the earliest stage. However, current techniques do not have sufficient sensitivity and specificity. We discuss 2 new methods — optical coherence tomography (OCT) and polarized Raman spectroscopy (PRS) — that are potentially useful for early caries detection and monitoring. OCT produces morphologic depth images of near-surface tissue structures with a resolution that is an order of magnitude greater than ultrasound imaging. Based on measurement of back-scattered near infrared light, OCT shows that sound enamel causes high-intensity back-scattering at the ... (Read Full Article)

   Alex C. Ko, Mark Hewko, Michael G. Sowa, Cecilia C. Dong, Blaine Cleghorn, Lin-P'ing Choo-Smith A new fibre-optic coupled polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopic system was developed for simultaneous collection of orthogonally polarized Raman spectra in a single measurement. An application of detecting incipient dental caries based on changes observed in Raman polarization anisotropy was ... [Opt. Express 16, 6274-6284 (2008)] (Read Full Article)
