- Abstract
The article presents information on the use of a new dental apparatus, named "Caries Meter L," for measuring the impedance of teeth, and also discusses the clinical results obtained from experiments. It is reported that in order to avoid current leakage, the tooth surface should be free from dental plaque and air dried. Under an experiment, 18 teeth of 12 adults patients aged 15 to 28 were measured using the apparatus. The relationship between the measurements with the Caries Meter L and impedance meter, and the extent of dental caries is examined.
