Abstract

Objective

To assess the effectiveness of the REFIX technology in the remineralization process of initial caries simulated on bovine enamel. The assessment involved the analysis of backscatter intensity, which was determined from laser speckle images.

Method

Twenty-one bovine teeth were divided into three groups: G1 and G7 were submitted to treatment with the REFIX technology for 1 and 7 days, respectively. The control group was treated with deionized water.

Results

A significant difference in backscatter was found between the carious and sound areas in all groups (p = 0.0038, p < 0.0001, and p = 0.0002 for the control group, G1, and G7, respectively). The intergroup comparison revealed no significant difference among the groups studied.

Conclusion

REFIX technology did not alter the optical properties of the samples of bovine teeth with simulated initial caries lesions after 1 and 7 days of treatment.

通过激光斑点跟踪分析评估 REFIX 技术对人工早期釉质龋损的再矿化作用。

目的评估 REFIX 技术在模拟牛珐琅质初始龋齿再矿化过程中的有效性。评估包括对激光斑点图像确定的反向散射强度进行分析：方法：21 颗牛牙分为三组：方法：21 颗牛牙分为三组：G1 和 G7 分别接受 1 天和 7 天的 REFIX 技术治疗。对照组用去离子水处理：结果：在所有组中，龋坏区和健全区的背向散射有明显差异（P = 0.0038，P 结论：REFIX 技术没有改变龋坏区和健全区的光散射：经过 1 天和 7 天的治疗后，REFIX 技术并没有改变模拟初始龋齿的牛牙样本的光学特性。

期刊介绍： The first international journal dedicated to publishing reviews and original articles from this exciting field, the Journal of Biophotonics covers the broad range of research on interactions between light and biological material. The journal offers a platform where the physicist communicates with the biologist and where the clinical practitioner learns about the latest tools for the diagnosis of diseases. As such, the journal is highly interdisciplinary, publishing cutting edge research in the fields of life sciences, medicine, physics, chemistry, and engineering. The coverage extends from fundamental research to specific developments, while also including the latest applications.
