  22. Ultrasonic Assessment of Tooth Health Objective • Dental health care and research workers require a means of imaging the internal structure of teeth in vivo • detection of poor bonding or voids between restorative material and dentin • detection of tooth decay in the early stage • visualization of periodontal defects • Conventional x-ray techniques have difficulty detecting cracks and visualizing interfaces between two hard media (due to silhouette image)

  23. Office of Technology Transfer Panel Discussion: Concrete Structure Characterization and Ultrasonic Assessment of Tooth Health D.W. Blodgett Air Defense Systems Department Electro-Optics Group (A1F) Co-Inventors: Kevin C. Baldwin (A1F) Donald D. Duncan (A1F) George Vojtech (ST1) June 10, 2003

  24. Concrete Structure Characterization Objective Develop non-destructive, portable sensing capabilities for reinforced concrete structures such as bridge pilings, bridge decks, support walls, docks, piers, etc… The final goal being to determine overall structural integrity and the presence (level) of re-bar delamination. Delamination may be caused by corrosion or any natural or man-made processes.

  25. Accelerometer Accelerometer Audio Speaker Audio speaker Acoustic waves Re-bar Concrete Piling Lock-in amplifier Operational Theory • Generation • Acoustic speaker excites resonant modes in embedded re-bar • re-bar acts as “buried” source in concrete and re-radiates acoustic energy • as speaker drive frequency approaches re-bar resonance, re-bar vibration amplitude increases and vibrations are carried to the surface of the concrete • Detection • Accelerometer/laser vibrometer provides broadband detection of re-bar vibrations on concrete surface • lock-in detection of vibrometer signal provides very high SNR • requires no special surface preparation of concrete • Location and amplitude of detected vibrations related to degree of disbond (corrosion) of re-bar

  26. Concrete Structure Characterization Timeline • Funding Milestones • Originally funded under JHU/APL Transportation IR&D Program in 2000 • Additional funding received under OTT Prototype Development Fund in 2001 • Applied for but did not receive funding from Federal Highway Administration IDEA Program in 2002 • Miscellaneous Milestones • Invention disclosure submitted in 2000 • Patent application filed in 2002 • Finalist for OTT Invention of the Year in 2001 • Presented work at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Nondestructive Evaluation (CNDE) Annual Meeting in 2002 • Presented work at SPIE Smart Structures/NDE Conference in 2003 • Licensed signed by the BiTH Group in 2003 • Technology assessment performed by John Fraser (OTT consultant) in 2003

  27. Ultrasonic Assessment of Tooth Health Dentin-Enamel Junction Characterization Wave propagation direction Cu Section Al Section Comparison of tooth phantom and sectioned tooth cross sections with corresponding measured ultrasonic waveforms • tooth phantoms and tooth sections prepared to characterize the effects of the DEJ on one-dimensional acoustic wave propagation • measured waveforms very similar indicating close match of acoustic reflectance (0.18 vs. 0.176)

  28. Ultrasonic Assessment of Tooth Health Timeline • Funding Milestones • Original work performed “on the side” starting in 2000 • Received funding under OTT Prototype Development Fund from 2001 to 2003 • Received funding under Air Defense Systems Department Technology Development Fund in 2002 • Miscellaneous Milestones • Invention disclosure submitted in 2000 • Finalist for OTT Invention of the Year in 2001 • Presented work at SPIE BIOS from 2000-2003 • Technology assessment performed by Fran Meyer (OTT consultant) in 2001 • Met with Gendex Dentsply in 2002 to explore technology transfer
