Abstract

The accurate terahertz (THz) electrical and optical properties of biomaterials are required as the biological applications of THz electromagnetic waves were recently increased. The frequency-dependent characteristics of enamel and dentin of human tooth were measured in this study through THz time-domain spectroscopy. The power absorptions of enamel and dentin were found to be similar while the index of refraction of enamel was found to be bigger than that of dentin. The power absorption results of enamel and dentin were also compared with those of the wet samples.
