TI  - Luminescence characteristics of dental ceramics for retrospective dosimetry: a 
      preliminary study.
PG  - 519-24
AB  - Ceramic materials that are widely employed in dental prosthetics and repairs 
      exhibit luminescent properties. Because of their use in the body, these materials 
      are potentially of interest in situations where retrospective dosimetry for 
      individuals is required but where monitoring was not planned. The luminescent 
      properties of dental ceramics obtained from Germany, Spain and the UK were 
      examined. Linear dose-response characteristics were obtained in the range < 100 
      mGy to 10 Gy using thermoluminescence (TL), optically stimulated luminescence 
      (OSL) and infrared-stimulated luminescence (IRSL) measurement techniques. 
      Measurements of time-resolved luminescence were also performed to examine the 
      nature of the luminescence recombination under visible (470 nm) and IR (855 nm) 
      stimulation. The results obtained by TL and optically stimulated techniques 
      suggest that there may be deeper traps than previously observed in certain types 
      of dental ceramic. Such traps may be less susceptible to optical and athermal 
      fading than was reported in earlier studies.
