Abstract
Dental cervical abrasion is wear on the neck of the tooth where it meets the gums. To treat cervical abrasion, a therapeutic resin is used to fill the worn area. It is difficult to check whether the resin has structural defects such as internal voids. If the resin is not properly cured or has internal voids and bubbles, it can easily fall off when subjected to an external impact. OCT can be used to non-destructively inspect the internal structure after treatment. By acquiring cross-sectional images of the treated area, OCT can be used to check if bubbles have formed inside the resin. In addition, to check the volume of resin used in the treatment, an algorithm is used to extract the resin portion from each tomographic image.
