Corrosion Behavior of Human Teeth Measured by Nanoindentation Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The decrease of the mechanical properties – hardness and reduced elastic modulus after corrosion in white wine was measured. Under static corrosion conditions no significant decrease was observed up to 8 hours of corrosion. Dynamic corrosion conditions cause detrimental decrease of properties (one order of magnitude) compare to the results of static corrosion test. This is due to the removal of the harder outer layer of the enamel during polishing. To obtain a relevant data concerning corrosion test, natural surface of a tooth should be investigated and tested.
