Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a kit and a probe for detecting porous hydroxyapatite in teeth, and a method for detecting conditions involving porous hydroxyapatite in teeth. Background technique

[0002] The elasticity of teeth depends on a complex interplay between minerals (called hydroxyapatite) and organic components (proteins, cells and tissues). Under normal conditions, hydroxyapatite in enamel and dentin forms an extremely dense structure that provides the hardness and toughness needed to maintain tooth integrity. The loss of mineral density in enamel and dentin leads to abnormally porous hydroxyapatite, which in turn leads to a decrease in tooth physical elasticity and structural damage. Porous hydroxyapatite is caused by several prevalent conditions, including dental caries and developmental tooth defects (DDD).

[0003] Dental caries (tooth decay) is a disease caused by acid-secreting bacteria. Acids produced by cariogenic bacteria can ...
