Abstract
A compact near-infrared photoacoustic (PA) probe for detection of early-stage dental diseases was reported. The probe consists of a PVDF film based transducer and a light delivery fiber fixed at a central through-hole of the transducer. Visualization of dental caries in a human tooth phantom shows the potential of the probe for early-stage dental diseases diagnosis.
