| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this study was investigated to observe the tooth surface exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light from an excimer lamp. Tooth roots were sectioned transversely along the long axis, trimmed into slabs, and randomly divided into these groups: the excimer UV irradiation group and the no treatment group. The water contact angle was measured for each group. The contact angle of the excimer irradiation group was significantly lower than the no treatment group. Additionally, nanoindentation tests were performed. However, there was no significant differences in nanohardness or Young's modulus between the two groups. These results confirm the increased surface wettability of dentin exposed to UV irradiation and the mechanical properties of the dentin structure are not altered by UV irradiation.
