Research Abstract

Investigating the optimum fluoride concentration for the inhibition of caries may be one of key steps to know the fluoride distribution in such a micro domain as acid-resistant layer. Methods as PIGE, EPMA and SIMS can be used. Here the micro-beam PIGE was applied to obtain high position resolution.
The 1.7 MeV proton beam accelerated by the TIARA single-ended accelerator at JAERI Takasaki was delivered to a micro-beam facility. The beam spot size was about 1μm with a beam current of about 100pA.
A nuclear reaction ^<19>F(p, aγ)^<16>O was used for measuring fluorine density. Gamma rays of this reaction were detected with a 2" BGO detector. Proton induced X-rays were detected with a Si(Li) detector for measuring calcium density. Beam intensity was monitored with X-ray yield from a copper foil for quantitative analysis. The fluorine distribution was measured for etched and non-etched teeth. Observed fluorine concentration in the narrow area can be seen with sub-micron beam line at TIARA.It might contribute a new tool in dentistry.
