Analyzing the Effect of Air Polishing on Tooth Surfaces With Two Imaging Methods

Turkey (Türkiye)14 participantsStarted 2020-06-17

Plain-language summary

Micro-CT is a non-destructive imaging method with high resolution and allows to examine all tooth structures individually. Pre- and post-application images obtained by micro-CT can be superimposed and differences can be precisely detected. Intraoral scanners in CAD/CAM systems also provide non-destructive image scanning. CAD/CAM are systems that are widely used in dentistry today. Access to the device is easier than micro-CT. This study was focused on to compare two different imaging methods by assessing changes caused by sodium bicarbonate and glycine air polishing on the tooth surfaces.
