  • Title: Early caries imaging and monitoring with near-infrared light.
    Author: Fried D, Featherstone JD, Darling CL, Jones RS, Ngaotheppitak P, Bühler CM.
    Journal: Dent Clin North Am; 2005 Oct; 49(4):771-93, vi. PubMed ID: 16150316.
    Abstract:
    Enamel is highly transparent in the near infrared (NIR); therefore, this region of the electromagnetic spectrum is suited ideally for the development of new optical diagnostic tools for the detection and imaging of early dental caries. This article discusses the NIR optical properties of sound and demineralized dental enamel and the potential use of polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography and NIR transillumination for the imaging of dental caries.
