No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Micro-CT is a non-destructive imaging method with high resolution and allows to examine all tooth structures individually. Pre- and post-application images obtained by micro-CT can be superimposed and differences can be precisely detected. Intraoral scanners in CAD/CAM systems also provide non-destructive image scanning. CAD/CAM are systems that are widely used in dentistry today. Access to the device is easier than micro-CT. This study was focused on to compare two different imaging methods by assessing changes caused by sodium bicarbonate and glycine air polishing on the tooth surfaces.

Conditions

  • Dental Plaque

Interventions

DEVICE

Micro-CT

Micro computed tomography (micro-CT) is an imaging method in which cross-sectional images are obtained and these images are transferred to the computer through specific software, processed and stored.

DEVICE

CAD/CAM

CAD/CAM (computer aided design-computer aided manufacturing) is a production method that is frequently used in many areas of technology. These systems are composed of a data acquisition unit, software for designing virtual restoration, and a computerized milling device.
