Early differentiation between caries and tooth demineralization using laser‐induced autofluorescence spectroscopy

Abstract: A differentiation between initial tooth demineralization and early stages of caries could be made by the laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy method.

“…Besides, some bacteria, causing, e.g., the inflammation diseases of skin [239] and gums [240], inhabiting the caries tooth lesions [241], can accumulate considerable amounts of porphyrins. Combining the measured autofluorescence spectra with those of reflection and absorption, OCT and other optical methods allows the diagnostics of caries and tooth tissue demineralisation [241][242][243][244][245], skin cancer [246,247], and pre-cancer changes of cervical tissue [248], mammary gland [249], and other diseases.…”

“…The values of spectroscopic parameters were obtained by analysis of Raman scattering spectra. In comparison with commercially available spectroscopic methods, such as laser‐induced spectroscopy) and quantitative light‐induced fluorescence, we proposed to base the diagnosis on several independent parameters determined by simultaneous analysis of three different physical phenomena – Raman (nonelastic) scattering, Rayleigh (elastic) scattering and fluorescence emission. Such an approach could allow unambiguous determination of caries occurrence in the enamel of the tooth, even at an early stage before detection of visual changes.…”

“…The difference in fluorescence intensities between sound and demineralized teeth samples can be explained by the light scattering properties of enamel which gets destroyed after initial caries, causing a reduction in the intensity as stated by Borisova et al 18,19 . Normal enamel is made up of enamel rods which have a prismatic structure and possess wave guide properties 20 .…”
