The remineralization of enamel caries can lead to distinct optical changes within a lesion. We hypothesized that the restoration of mineral volume would result in a measurable decrease in the depth-resolved reflectivity of polarized light from the lesion. To test this hypothesis, we measured optical changes in artificial caries undergoing remineralization as a function of depth, using Polarization-sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography (PS-OCT). Lesions were imaged non-destructively before and after exposure to a remineralization regimen. After imaging, microradiographs of histological thin sections indicated that the significant reflectivity reduction measured by PS-OCT accurately represented the increase in mineral content within a larger repaired surface zone. Mineral volume changes arising from remineralization can be measured on the basis of the optical reflectivity of the lesion.

:釉质龋的再矿化可以导致病变内明显的光学变化。我们假设矿物质量的恢复将导致病灶偏振光的深度分辨反射率显着下降。为了验证这一假设,我们使用偏振敏感的光学相干断层扫描(PS-OCT)测量了经过深度再矿化的人工龋的光学变化。在接受再矿化方案之前和之后,对病变进行无损成像。成像后,对组织学薄切片进行显微射线照相,结果表明,通过PS-OCT测得的反射率显着降低,可以准确地表示较大的修复表面区域中矿物质含量的增加。由矿化引起的矿物质体积变化可以根据病变的光反射率进行测量。
