Proof-of-concept study to establish an in situ method to determine the nature and depth of collagen changes in dentine using Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy after sodium hypochlorite irrigation

摘要

Aim To establish a method using Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FTIR) to characterize the nature and depth of changes in dentinal collagen following exposure to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) during root canal irrigation in an ex vivo model.
