| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to know demineralization effect of self-healing adhesive system utilizing ultrasonic device and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The propagation time of longitudinal ultrasonic waves was measured by a pulser receiver with a transducer. The sonic velocity decreased over time for specimens stored in demineralising solution; however, coated specimens had a significantly higher sonic velocity than those without coating. From the OCT observations, obvious changes in B-scan mode were observed, and decreases in signal intensities were detected for the specimens with acidic attack. From the results of this study, the coating material containing PRG fillers therefore appeared to reduce the demineralisation of enamel. The condition of demineralization of the tooth structure could be measured non-destructively by using an ultrasonic device and OCT.
