Healthy carious and non-carious human dental enamel

Synchrotron X-ray MCT

Optical microscopy, electron microscopy (ion beam scanning), and X-ray conventional tomography

Clear contrast was obtained with Synchrotron X-ray MCT. Improved quantification of lesion depth function through volume fraction of demineralized content, voids cross-sectional area estimation, and aspect ratio achieved through D and 2D image segmentation. Within the same lesion, a transition between type 1 and type 2 lesions was identified.

Transferability from tablets to oral films of X-ray MCT virtual matrice to be used in validation concept

X-ray micro-computed tomography

Confocal Raman microscopy

The obtained images confirmed the transferability of the validation concept. The combination of X-ray MCT and Raman microscopy figured out artifacts in images due to the presence of air bubbles in oral films. Therefore, the final raw images were with artifacts and the film virtual matrix did not be used in silico calculations as no real oral film representation was found.

Root canal morphology

Micro-computed tomography

Rotary and conventional files in the young permanent and primary teeth

The MCT showed that Revo-S rotary file instrumentation significantly improved root canal surface area and volume (p < 0.001). A significant reduction in apical transport was observed in primary molars in comparison to permanent teeth (p < 0.001).
