Determination of the Structural Units of Hard Tooth Tissues Using the Cole-Cole Curves

In the presented work the research of the structure of the tooth enamel was made using Cole-Cole curves. The results of the study show the dependence of the complex impedance and its phase as function of frequency. Based on this, impedance diagrams (Cole-Cole) for molars are constructed. These studies were made with the same external conditions at different distances from the masticatory surface of the tooth using an Immittance meter E7-20. Estimated data on the size of the structural elements of enamel are obtained using the diagrams. It turned out that with increased distance from the masticatory surface the sizes of the tooth structure elements also increase. The comparison of this data with the AFM studies of the same areas of the tooth provides evidence that the diagrams reflect the actual dimensions of the elements of the tooth structures.
