In this paper, we propose a high lateral resolution common-path Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) system with the use of a chemically etched single mode fibre. In our experiments, a single mode optical fibre of 840 nm was used for preparing the tapered tips. Our system used a conical microlens that was chemically etched by a selective chemical etching technique using an etching solution of buffered hydrofluoric acid (BHF). From the experimental results, we verified that our proposed optical coherence tomography system could operate as a common-path Fourier domain OCT system and the apex angle of the chemically etched single mode fibre tip was a very important parameter for generating high-resolution OCT images.

Abstract Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can create cross-sectional images of tooth without X-ray exposure. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of 3D imaging of OCT for proximal caries in posterior teeth. Thirty-six human molar teeth with 51 proximal surfaces visibly 6 intact, 16 slightly demineralized, and 29 distinct carious changes were mounted to take digital radiographs and 3D OCT images. The sensitivity, specificity and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for the diagnosis of enamel caries and dentin caries were calculated to quantify the diagnostic ability of 3D OCT in comparison with digital radiography. Diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by the agreement with histology using weighted Kappa. OCT showed significantly higher sensitivity, AUC and Kappa values than radiography. OCT can be a safer option for the diagnosis of proximal caries in posterior teeth that can be applied to the patients without X-ray exposure.
