  Explore SPIE Digital Library Sep 12 2020 Dentistry
  
  Significance: To advance our understanding of the contrast observed when imaging with polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) and its correlation with oral cancerous pathologies, a detailed comparison with histology provided via ex vivo fixed tissue is required. The effects of tissue fixation, however, on such polarization-based contrast have not yet been investigated. Aim: A study was performed to assess the impact of tissue fixation on depth-resolved (i.e., local) birefringence measured with PS-OCT. Approach: A PS-OCT system based on depth-encoded polarization multiplexing and polarization-diverse detection was used to measure the Jones matrix of a sample. A wide variety of ex ...

9. Assessment of the Inner Surface Roughness of 3D Printed Dental Crowns via Optical Coherence Tomography Using a Roughness Quantification Algorithm
  
  Explore IEEE Xplore Aug 3 2020 Dentistry
  
  Abstract: Dental crowns are used to restore decayed or chipped teeth, where their surfaces play a key role in this restoration process, as they affect the fitting and stable bonding of the prostheses. The surface texture of crowns can interfere with this restoration process, therefore the measurement of their inner surface roughness is very important but difficult to achieve using conventional imaging methods. In this study, the inner surfaces of dental crowns were three-dimensionally (3D) visualized using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) system. Nine crowns were fabricated with a commercial 3D printer using three different hatching methods (one-way, cross, and ...

  Explore oraljournal.com Jul 20 2020 Dentistry
  
  ABSTRACT: The main problem faced by composites is polymerization shrinkage and stresses which depends on multiple factors such as the configuration factor, composition of resin composites, material properties, various incremental placement techniques and different modes of curing. The aim of this in-vitro study was to evaluate interfacial gaps at dentin- restorative interface with different Bulk-fill composites using a new non-invasive technique, optical coherence tomography (OCT). Our null hypothesis was that there would be no difference in marginal adaptation to the cavity floor between different bulk fill resin composites.

  Dental caries is one of the most common human diseases, 60-90% of school children worldwide have dental cavities. Severity can vary, from early demineralisation, which preventive measures can improve, to cavitation, leading to fillings. Different diagnostic tools are available, such as clinical examination, radiographic investigation and Enhanced Visual examination/International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS). To date, there is no universal diagnostic tool that can be used to detect carious lesions at the very early stages. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive and ionising radiation free technique that has been used in dentistry, but not to diagnose caries ...

24. OCT-Based Periodontal Inspection Framework
  
  Explore MDPI Open Access Journals Platform Dec 12 2019 Dentistry
  
  Periodontal diagnosis requires discovery of the relations among teeth, gingiva (i.e., gums), and alveolar bones, but alveolar bones are inside gingiva and not visible for inspection. Traditional probe examination causes pain, and X-ray based examination is not suited for frequent inspection. This work develops an automatic non-invasive periodontal inspection framework based on gum penetrative Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), which can be frequently applied without high radiation. We sum up interference responses of all penetration depths for all shooting directions respectively to form the shooting amplitude projection. Because the reaching interference strength decays exponentially with tissues’ penetration depth, this projection ...
