“…In this regard, in this second part of the review, the main focus is to give an overview of the use of synchrotron X-ray applications in human dental research (for animal species, numerous studies have been carried out on a variety of species and fossils [ 256 , 257 , 258 , 259 , 260 , 261 , 262 , 263 , 264 , 265 , 266 , 267 , 268 , 269 , 270 , 271 , 272 , 273 , 274 , 275 , 276 , 277 , 278 , 279 ], as well as studies on biofilms [ 280 , 281 , 282 , 283 ]). This review was performed by searching several platforms, including ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and SciFinder.…”

Synchrotron X-ray Studies of the Structural and Functional Hierarchies in Mineralised Human Dental Enamel: A State-of-the-Art Review

Hard dental tissues possess a complex hierarchical structure that is particularly evident in enamel, the most mineralised substance in the human body. Its complex and interlinked organisation at the Ångstrom (crystal lattice), nano-, micro-, and macro-scales is the result of evolutionary optimisation for mechanical and functional performance: hardness and stiffness, fracture toughness, thermal, and chemical resistance. Understanding the physical–chemical–structural relationships at each scale requires the application of appropriately sensitive and resolving probes. Synchrotron X-ray techniques offer the possibility to progress significantly beyond the capabilities of conventional laboratory instruments, i.e., X-ray diffractometers, and electron and atomic force microscopes. The last few decades have witnessed the accumulation of results obtained from X-ray scattering (diffraction), spectroscopy (including polarisation analysis), and imaging (including ptychography and tomography). The current article presents a multi-disciplinary review of nearly 40 years of discoveries and advancements, primarily pertaining to the study of enamel and its demineralisation (caries), but also linked to the investigations of other mineralised tissues such as dentine, bone, etc. The modelling approaches informed by these observations are also overviewed. The strategic aim of the present review was to identify and evaluate prospective avenues for analysing dental tissues and developing treatments and prophylaxis for improved dental health.

“…Cluster analyses of 18 chemical variables indicated six different groups of teeth may be related to different nursing or feeding grounds. So far, synchrotron radiation X‐ray fluorescence (SRXRF) and LA‐ICP‐MS have been widely developed in the elemental composition and isotope analysis of teeth.…”

Preliminary in situ teeth study of the narrow‐ridged finless porpoises remains using microsynchrotron radiation X‐ray fluorescence and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

et al. 2018

In recent years, a growing number of the narrow‐ridged finless porpoises were found dead near the Yangtze River estuary. In this region lived two sympatric subspecies, respectively, the East Asian finless porpoise and the Yangtze finless porpoise. So far, it is difficult to distinguish these two subspecies due to their similar shape and unavailable molecular marker. In this work, synchrotron radiation X‐ray fluorescence (SRXRF) and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) were applied for in situ teeth trace chemical analysis to study subspecies identification and migration near the Yangtze River estuary. Teeth Sr concentration and 87Sr/86Sr ratios, determined by SRXRF and LA‐ICP‐MS techniques, have potential application in the identification of the finless porpoise subspecies. Only one (Sample S4) of the six samples was concluded as the Yangtze finless porpoise, and the others were the East Asian finless porpoise. This study also proved that the Sr/Ca and Zn/Ca ratios could be used as a useful environmental indicator to detect the migratory history of narrow‐ridged finless porpoises.
