Various assessment techniques have been applied to evaluate the loss of dental hard tissue and the surface-softened zone in enamel induced by erosive challenges. In this chapter, the most frequently adopted techniques for analyzing the erosively altered dental hard tissues are reviewed, such as profilometry, measuring microscope techniques, microradiography, scanning electron microscopy, atom force microscopy, nano- and microhardness tests and iodide permeability test. Moreover, methods for chemical analysis of minerals dissolved from dental hard tissue are discussed. It becomes evident that the complex nature of erosive mineral loss and dissolution might not be comprehended by a single technique, but needs application of different approaches for full understanding.
已经应用了各种评估技术来评估由侵蚀性刺激引起的牙齿硬组织损失和牙釉质表面软化区。在本章中，将对分析侵蚀性改变的牙齿硬组织最常用的技术进行综述，如轮廓测定法、测量显微镜技术、显微放射照相术、扫描电子显微镜、原子力显微镜、纳米和显微硬度测试以及碘渗透测试。此外，还讨论了对从牙齿硬组织中溶解的矿物质进行化学分析的方法。显然，侵蚀性矿物质损失和溶解的复杂性质可能无法通过单一技术来理解，而是需要应用不同的方法才能全面理解。
