Abstract
A recently introduced material for dental restorations, Zirconia reinforced Lithium Silicate (ZLS), is examined for its properties, in order to be used as a personal accidental thermoluminescence dosimeter. For this purpose, its main thermoluminescence characteristics are studied, such as its sensitivity, signal reproducibility, fading, dose response and lower detectable dose limit. Furthermore, the material is characterized by means of microscopic, spectroscopic and crystallographic techniques. The results propose that ZLS is promising to be used as a personal accidental thermoluminescence dosimeter for post-irradiation detection, with single aliquot protocols.
