Abstract

The investigation of fluorescence signal of different parts of intact teeth in the upper and lower human jaws in vivo has been carried out using the method of laser-induced fluorescence at a laser excitation wavelength of 405 nm. It was revealed that, for all teeth, cervical enamel is characterized by the highest fluorescence signal, and enamel layer at the cutting edge has the lowest fluorescence signal. Methods of multi-layer spiral computed tomography and scanning electron microscopy were used to measure enamel thickness in different anatomical part of all teeth in the upper and the lower jaw. It was found out that, on the average, the enamel layer is the thickest at the cutting edge and the thinnest at the cervical region of the tooth. Also, influence of enamel thickness and multilevel dentin-enamel junction on the fluorescence signal of different anatomical parts of intact teeth has been investigated.
