Radiation Tolerance Clinical Trial
Official title:
Radiation Dosimetry in Teeth
Irradiation of any tissue creates changes in that tissue. Ionizing radiation imparts charges
to the tissue as it interacts with tissue components, changing the tissue structure. The
specific type of modification also depends to some extent upon the type of tissue
irradiated. It has been shown that it is possible to read the tooth enamel irradiation
record using techniques such as electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), or electron spin
resonance (ESR).
It is proposed to examine radiation responses in approximately one hundred (100) human
teeth. This would include teeth free of, as well as those containing, amalgam (silver)
restorations. For the first group, teeth that have already been collected (pre-existing
pathological specimens) would be used. These teeth were surgical/pathological discards
collected without identifiers by the dental providers.
