Abstract EN
Bonding of braces is an essential part in contemporary orthodontic treatment.
For the proper strength of bracket bonding, enamel conditioning or surface treatment on tooth surface is required.
Treatment on the tooth surface such as prophylaxis smoothing with pumice and enamel etching results in considerable damages to the enamel surface of the tooth.
In this study, we have proposed optical coherence tomography as a noninvasive imaging technique for the evaluation of damage induced during such treatment procedures.
Using depth intensity analysis of the obtained cross-sectional images, the damage resulting to the enamel surface was studied after prophylaxis smoothening and etching steps.
