Conference summary
Dental demineralization is associated with different pathological conditions. Early diagnosis plays a crucial role in preventing and effectively treating this condition.
In this context, Raman spectroscopy can be used as a promising tool for the early detection of dental demineralization, even in subclinical stages.
Detection at this stage will allow the adoption of preventive strategies minimizing biological damage to patients.
This talk aims to explore innovations in the use of Raman spectroscopy as a non-invasive and sensitive technique for diagnosing dental demineralization in different contexts.
