4. Nondestructive Assessment of Early Tooth Demineralization Using Cross-Polarization Optical Coherence Tomography

   Explore Article IEEE Xplore (Aug 9 2010) Dentistry

   New methods are needed for the nondestructive measurement of tooth demineralization and remineralization to monitor the progression of incipient caries lesions (tooth decay) for effective nonsurgical intervention and to evaluate the performance of anticaries treatments such as chemical treatments or laser irradiation. Studies have shown that optical coherence tomography (OCT) has great potential to fulfill this role since it can be used to measure the depth and severity of early ... (Read Full Article)

7. Lasers and Optics for Measureing Tooth Decay

   Explore Article opticsinfobase.org (Apr 11 2010) Dentistry

   Lasers may finally provide dental patients a good reason to open up and say ahhhh. Dentists are already using optical technologies and lasers to detect and treat tooth decay and lasers for therapeutic interventions, and they are looking to a future in which they can combine these methods for minimally invasive dentistry. That means that lasers may one day be used to remove decay painlessly while minimizing the loss of ... (Read Full Article)

   Abstract Background To assess the intra-examiner repeatability and agreement of corneal pachymetry maps measured by time-domain (Visante OCT) and Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (RTVue OCT). Methods This observational cross-sectional study enrolled 72 eyes from 72 volunteers. Only one eye of each patient was chosen randomly to receive repeated scanning with both devices by the same examiner, in order to test the intra-observer repeatability. The first scan by each device from ... (Read Full Article)

9. Advances in Imaging of Stargardt Disease

   Explore Article SpringerLink Home (Mar 17 2010) Ophthalmology

   Stargardt disease (STGD1) is an autosomal-recessively inherited condition often associated with mutations in ABCA4 and characterized by accumulation of autofluorescent lipofuscin deposits in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Non-invasive imaging techniques including fundus autofluorescence (FAF), spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO) have the potential to improve understanding of vision loss in patients with STGD. We describe a comprehensive approach to the study of ... (Read Full Article)

10. Imaging natural occlusal caries lesions with optical coherence tomography

    Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Mar 5 2010) Dentistry

    Several studies have demonstrated that polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) can be used to nondestructively measure the severity of demineralization in the important occlusal surfaces. The purpose of this study was to assess the potential of PS-OCT and OCT methods for the measurement of the depth of natural occlusal carious lesions. Teeth were screened for potential occlusal lesions using near infrared imaging (NIR). A PS-OCT system operating at 1310-nm was ... (Read Full Article)

12. Imaging simulated secondary caries lesions with cross polarization OCT

    Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Mar 5 2010) Dentistry

    The clinical diagnosis of secondary caries has been found to account for the replacement of the majority of intra-coronal restorations. Current methods to diagnose the presence of these lesions at early stages are considered insufficient due to their low sensitivity. Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) imaging studies have confirmed its effectiveness for imaging carious subsurface lesions in enamel and dentin. The objective of this study was to determine if PS-OCT ... (Read Full Article)

    Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Mar 4 2010) Dentistry

    A thorough understanding of how polarized near-IR light propagates through sound and carious dental hard tissues is important for the development of dental optical imaging systems. New optical imaging tools for the detection and assessment of dental caries (dental decay) such as near-IR imaging and optical coherence tomography can exploit the enhanced contrast provided by polarization sensitivity. In this investigation, an automated system was developed to collect images for the ... (Read Full Article)

    Some distinct findings of a patient with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome from the anterior chamber angle images by high-resolution anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) are described. The typical anterior segment anomalies of Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome, including iris atrophy, posterior embryotoxon, peripheral bridging tissue bands, trabecular meshwork elongation, and high insertion of the iris root into the posterior trabecular meshwork, can be visualized clearly on AS-OCT images. Specifically, the high-resolution mode of the ... (Read Full Article)
