Comparison of Artificial Caries-Like Lesions by Quantitative Microradiography and Microhardness Profiles
Abstract
A direct comparison of quantitative microradiography and microhardness profiles was made using artificial caries-like lesions in human enamel. Tooth crowns with lesions were cut in half through the center of the lesions and opposing halves were assessed by one of the techniques, from the anatomical surface, across the lesion, and into the underlying enamel. A linear relationship was found between volume percent mineral determined by microradiography and the square root of the Knoop Hardness Number assessed by microhardness testing in the mineral range of 40–90 volume percent. The relationship also holds for sound dentine. It is concluded that either technique can be used to measure mineral profiles through carious lesions as a result of demineralization and presumably remineralization.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
