| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Measurement of teeth in vivo using an electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer can determine radiation exposure. The purpose of this study was to improve the stability and accuracy of this device and to improve its practicality for use as an extraction of high-dose exposed patients. The effect of radicals generated by dental diagnostic X-rays on EPR measurement was evaluated. It was found that EPR signals were detected by the L-band EPR dosimetry system after a certain number of irradiations. In addition, the anterior teeth are exposed to sunlight, including ultraviolet light, which may affect EPR measurements. We confirmed that exposure to ultraviolet rays did not significantly affect the signal intensity of the radical measurements. We also confirmed that different energy sources (γ-rays and X-rays) affect the efficiency of radical production in teeth.
