Description
Summary:Highlights • Fluorescence-based photography is an adjunct to recognise tooth restorations. • The method could be used in dental examination & forensic identification purposes. • VitaEnamic, ormocers and glass-ionomer cements exhibit unique emission patterns. • The intensity of fluorescence is influenced by hydration properties of the material
