Study of Fluorescent Characteristics of Extracted Human Teeth by Use of a Clinical Fluorometer

The native fluorescence of clinically sound extracted human teeth was determined with a filter fluorometer fitted with a fiber optic probe. To establish the normal range of fluorescence, ten teeth of each tooth type from the mandibular and maxillary arch, respectively, were examined. Differences in the fluorescence were observed at various areas of the same tooth and between various types of teeth.
