摘要
Human teeth were analysed by X-ray microfluorescence analysis using synchrotron radiation (muSRXRF). The aim of this work was to study the elemental distribution for Ca, Zn and Sr along the dental regions, enamel, dentine and pulp from patterns of relative fluorescence intensities. The measurements were performed in standard geometry of 450 incidence, exciting with a white beam and using a conventional system collimation (orthogonal slits) in the XRF beamline at the Synchrotron Light National Laboratory (Campinas, Brazil). The results show that Ca distribution is quite constant and it is independent of the tooth type and individuals characteristics. An increase of the Zn concentration was found for the pulp region and for untreated carious areas. Ca and Sr distributions show a similar behavior. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
