The visible emission spectra and fluorescent life-time from decayed and nondecayed regions of teeth were measured and compared. The spectrum from carious lesions is different from that of noncarious tooth regions. This may offer a non-X-ray method for diagnosing dental caries in humans.
对牙齿龋坏区域和未龋坏区域的可见发射光谱及荧光寿命进行了测量和比较。龋损病变的光谱与非龋坏牙齿区域的光谱不同。这可能为诊断人类龋齿提供一种非X射线方法。
