Abstract:Wavelength tunable Free Electron Laser, FEL, was irradiated onto the polished surfaces of human tooth enamel and dentin using the FEL system at Laboratory for Electron Beam Research and Application (LEBRA) in Nihon University. LEBRA-FEL system was so powerful that only 2 mJ/pulse shot resulted in an apparent pit on the surfaces. The pit showed neither marked scorch nor formation of secondary crystalline phase revealed by micro-XRD and micro-FTIR. Optimum wavelength for pit formation on the dental hard tissues … Show more
