Determining the Effect of Calculus, Hypocalcification, and Stain on Using Optical Coherence Tomography and Polarized Raman Spectroscopy for Detecting White Spot Lesions by Amanda Huminicki, Cecilia Dong, Blaine Cleghorn, Michael Sowa, Mark Hewko, Lin-P'ing Choo-Smith

“…Results indicate that OCT allowed differentiating caries from sound enamel, hypocalcification, and stain, with calculus deposits recognizable on OCT images. ANOVA and post-hoc unequal N HSD analyses to compare the mean Raman depolarization ratios from the various groups showed that the mean values were statistically significant at P<.05, except for several comparison pairs. …”

Green Synthesis of Nanocomposite of Ag/Ag2O Using Coelomic Liquid: Optical Absorption Analysis by Esmaeil Shahriari, Morteza Raeisi, Karim Aliakbari

“…Results showed that with increasing the silver nitrate concentration, size and strain of silver oxide nanoparticles remained unchanged, but the silver nanoparticles size increased while strain decreased. SEM images indicated uniform particle distribution, high density, and spherical geometric shape, and their average size changes in the range of 23 ≤ λ ≤ 63 nm By measuring and fitting the nanocomposites ultraviolet (UV) spectra, weight percentage, and absorption peak of each component were determined. …”
