Experimental Studies of Elastic Properties of Dental Enamel and Photopolymer Used for early Caries Treatment

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper is concerned with the study of the elastic properties of dental enamel and its destruction by a microindentation technique. A series of experiments were performed to find differences in the mechanical properties of healthy and diseased dental enamel. It has been found that the times of dental enamel destruction in healthy and carious areas under a constant force are different. The effect of an infiltrated photopolymer on the hardness and elastic modulus of dental enamel was investigated by microindentation testing. A comparative analysis of the features of healthy, damaged by caries and treated by photopolymer enamel was carried out.
