New research conducted at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) in Japan explores the effects of phosphoric acid etching on the dentin enamel junction (DEJ) using optical coherence tomography (OCT). The study found that phosphoric acid etching may lead to excessive demineralization and weaken the DEJ. The researchers used non-invasive diagnostic methods, including OCT, laser microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, to observe the DEJ and perform an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) test. The findings suggest that phosphoric acid etching can create a vulnerable DEJ. This research has been peer-reviewed and provides valuable insights into the impact of phosphoric acid on dental health.
