The application of ESEM in dental materials research

Interaction of Glass-ionomer Cements with Moist Dentin

“…2A). In the absence of desiccation (Cowan et al, 1996), no artifactual cracks were observed, and the spherical bodies were closely adapted to the GIC matrix. Dehydration cracks began to form in the polyalkenoate matrix when the pressure of the microscope chamber was reduced to 5.4 Torr (Fig.…”

Er:YAG Laser in QSP Modality for Treatment of Indirect Adhesive Restoration Build-Up: Surface Roughness Analysis and Morphology Assessment by Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM)

“…For these reasons, ESEM may help to extend existing knowledge of the mechanisms of processes used in the clinical practice of dentistry. In particular, it is possible to analyze dental tissues in their native form, without the need for conductive coatings, and it is possible to analyze the same sample before and after phases such as etching [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Optimal substrates for adhesion emerged from the analysis of the morphology of the surfaces using ESEM.…”
