Abstract

I. Objectives This study was performed to get some information about micromorphology of subsurface lesion of root caries by observing autofluorescence using confocal laser scanning microscope(CLSM) with minimum sample preparation. II. Materials and Methods Half-cut and 1 mm thick sample of human teeth were prepared to produce artificial root carious lesions. Incipient subsurface lesions were produced under optimal pH and saturity. The lesions were observed by polarized microscopy, CLSM, and back-scattered electron microscope(BSE). Calcium and phosphorus concentrations of the lesions were analyzed by line EDAX. (omitted)
