In vivo assessment of the Optipen optical reflectometer for detecting enamel surface changes following an erosive challenge.

Researchers tested whether an optical reflectometer could detect enamel surface changes caused by erosion in a clinical setting. The device successfully identified reduced surface reflectance immediately after cola exposure, though this difference diminished after two hours of salivary contact.
