Comparative evaluation of the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and microhardness for remineralization of enamel caries lesions
Source abstract
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the Cirrus high-definition (HD) spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for the remineralization of artificial enamel caries and to compare it with the comparison surface microhardness (SMH) analysis. Artificial caries lesions were produced on forty human enamel samples. Then, three different remineralization agents containing casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate; casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium fluoride phosphate; calcium glycerophosphate, magnesium chloride, and xylitol; and remineralization solution (control) were applied with pH cycling for six days. The optical depth of backscattered light and microhardness of enamel were measured using SD-OCT and SMH. All remineralization agents were significantly efficient in reducing optical lesion depth on enamels (p1=0.001, p2=0.002, p3=0.006, p4=0.025), and in increasing the SMH of enamels (p1−3=0.005, p4=0.017). However, the optical lesion depths of the enamel showed no correlation with the SMH in the groups. In conclusion, demineralization and remineralization of artificial lesions can be assessed with both SD-OCT and SMH.
