Accident Dosimetry Using the TL from Dental Restoration Porcelains

Vitreous Materials for Retrospective Dosimetry: Promises and Problems

“…Fading is a disadvantage of these materials similarly to those described by Majborn (1983), Mauricio et al (1985), and Godfrey-Smith and Haskell (1993). This problem can be overcome by using a fading calibration curve for each type of such materials.…”

“…Ceramic construction materials such -as bricks and roof tiles are routinely used for reconstruction of accident dose using thermoluminescence (TL) (Maruyama et al, 1987;Haskell, 1993;Hiitt et a1.,, 1993). Promising results for TL reconstruction have been obtained also using watch jewels (Majborn, 1983) and dental restoration porcelains (Mauricio et al, 1985).…”

Comparative measurements of external radiation exposure using mobile phones, dental ceramic, household salt and conventional personal dosemeters

“…In contrast, identification of the type of dental ceramic can be complicated due to the great variety of dental ceramics used in practice (Veronese et al, 2010). For initial orientation, the TLD curve should be read and compared with already published data (Veronese et al, 2010;Bailiff et al, 2002;Mauricio et al, 1985;Ekendahl et al, 2013). While alumina resistors and dental ceramics usually enable only measurement of higher doses (>0.1 Gy) Ekendahl et al, 2013), the minimum detectable dose for salt is only a few mGy (Bernhardsson et al, 2009;Ekendahl and Judas, 2011).…”
