8. Three-Dimensional Analysis of Enamel Crack Behavior Using Optical Coherence Tomography
  
  Explore Journal of Dental Research Nov 26 2016 Dentistry
  
  The aim of this study was to nondestructively analyze enamel crack behavior on different areas of teeth using 3D swept source-optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). Ten freshly extracted human teeth of each type on each arch ( n = 80 teeth) were inspected for enamel crack patterns on functional, contact and nonfunctional, or noncontact areas using 3D SS-OCT. The predominant crack pattern for each location on each specimen was noted and analyzed. The ...

9. Optical analysis of enamel and dentin caries in relation to mineral density using swept-source optical coherence tomography
  
  Explore SPIE | Journal Oct 1 2016 Dentistry
  
  The aim of this study was to evaluate the signal intensity and signal attenuation of swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for dental caries in relation to the variation of mineral density. SS-OCT observation was performed on the enamel and dentin artificial demineralization and on natural caries. The artificial caries model on enamel and dentin surfaces was created using Streptococcus mutans biofilms incubated in an oral biofilm reactor. The lesions ...

  $The role of enamel thickness and refractive index on human tooth colour$
  Objectives To investigate the role of enamel thickness and refractive index ( n ) on tooth colour. Methods The colour and enamel thickness of fifteen extracted human central incisors were determined according to CIELab colour scale using spectrophotometer (Crystaleye) and swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), respectively. Subsequently, labial enamel was trimmed by approximately 100 m, and the colour and remaining enamel thickness were investigated again. This cycle was repeated until dentin appeared ...
