| Research Abstract |
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a new diagnostic imaging technique that many potential dental applications. OCT was addressed as a non-invasive cross-sectional imaging of the internal biological system at the submicron scale. The purpose of this study was to examined the application of OCT for monitoring residual tooth thickness. The enamel surface, interface of enamel and dentin, dentin and pulp cavity showed an increase in the signal intensity at the internal of tooth. The current study demonstrated that the OCT was successfully used to signal intensity measurement may be a suitable indication of tooth thickness.
