Abstract

OBJECTIVES: In this in vitro study, a bioluminescent marker was investigated for its potential to illuminate the assessment of dental caries and dental erosion, which are significant clinical and public health problems, through its binding of those ions, notably Ca

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The light output from the selected bioluminescent marker was investigated in several experiments, including: (a)contact with a range of Ca

RESULTS: The results of: experiment (a) showed that the light output from the marker increases with increasing Ca

CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate the ability of a novel bioluminescence technology to image Ca
