[Evaluation of dental hard tissues by means of atomic force microscopy]
Abstract:
The paper presents modified method of teeth slice preparation for evaluating enamel and dentin morphological structure by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM). The method allows measuring directly and describing hydroxyappatite crystals on nanolevel. Structural properties of dental hard tissues were determined and comparative characteristic of form and density of enamel prisms particles with similar morphological inorganic elements of dentin were specified.
