A new method for relative Sr determination in human teeth enamel.

We present a new method to determine Sr/Ca changes in hard dental tissues based on laser ablation and spectroscopic detection. By using femtosecond Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (fs-LIBS), we micro mapped the relative amount of strontium in the enamel of three human lower third molar. We also...
