Non-invasive quantification of resin-dentin interfacial gaps using optical coherence tomography: Validation against confocal microscopy.

Dent Mater. 2011 Jun 12; Bakhsh TA, Sadr A, Shimada Y, Tagami J, Sumi Y OBJECTIVES: Regardless of the cause, gap formation at the tooth-restoration interface may result in treatment failure; non-destructive assessment and monitoring of these defects are important. The aim of this in vitro study is to assess the tooth-restoration interface using a … Continue reading »

Validation of swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for the diagnosis of occlusal caries.

J Dent. 2010 Aug; 38(8): 655-65Shimada Y, Sadr A, Burrow MF, Tagami J, Ozawa N, Sumi Y In this laboratory study, we examined the use of a swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) as a diagnostic tool for occlusal caries.One-hundred and eleven investigation sites of occlusal fissures were selected from 62 extracted teeth and examined visually … Continue reading »
