Applying optical coherence tomography in dental restoration

Optical coherence tomography was use to perform an evaluation of molar dental restorations. Imaging resolution of 10 /spl mu/m is achieved and dental cavities small as 50 /spl mu/m are measured. OCT images were compared with X-ray and optical microscopy pictures.
