title: Effect of X-ray irradiation on the permeability of bovine dental enamel.
abstract: To estimate permeability properties of bovine dental enamel, complex impedance measurements and radioisotope diffusion experiments were carried out before and after X-ray irradiation (single dose, 72 Gy) of enamel specimens. Neither impedance measurements nor diffusion experiments showed significant changes in permeability.
