Quantitative EDXRF analysis of Ca, K, Mn and Na in normal and pathological adult-human teeth.
This work relates to the measurement of calcium, potassium, manganese and sodium levels in adult-human teeth from female and male patients and normal subjects. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique was used for the measurements. Pathological and non-pathological adult-human teeth samples were collected from one male human patient and one female human patient who attended the dental clinic. The standard addition method was used to determine concentrations. Experimental results are presented and discussed in this work.
