Validity of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in determining age and sex from tooth specimens

Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in the analysis of clinical and biological materials, foods and beverages

“…The study demonstrated the potential of LIBS as an analytical surgical tool to assess healthy and diseased bone regions in situ . Another interesting use of LIBS was published by Priyanka et al 148 to assess the elemental profile in teeth with respect to age and sex. Elemental analysis of 170 tooth samples was performed at the cemento-enamel junction with LIBS.…”

Fabrication of a Low Cost Superhydrophobic Substrate for Surface Enhanced Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy and Its Utility through Identification of Electrolyte Variation for Oral Cancer Detection

“…Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is an effective tool for material characterization by virtue of its ability to provide multielemental analysis. , Detection of ultratrace elements from a limited volume of samples can provide significant and unprecedented benefits in the biomedical and environmental fields. − It is worth noting that extensive research has been undertaken on the analysis of biological samples such as teeth, bones, kidney stones, etc. − using a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technique. However, fewer studies have focused on body fluid analysis such as serum, saliva, tear etc.…”
