| Teeth |
Comparison of teeth using infrared, visible and ultraviolet photography. Infrared generally showed the enamel darker than the dentine and showed the whiteness of the incisal edges clearly. |
DeMent & Culbertson 1951 |
| Oral mucosa |
Claimed that infrared photography was especially valuable for demonstrating the submucous venous pattern of the mouth. |
Friedman et al. 1958 |
| Oral mucosa |
First application of colour infrared photography to the oral mucosa. Concluded that there were no differences between tissues that had been irradiated and those that had not. Suggested black-and-white infrared technique better. |
McCarty 1976 |
| Aphthous ulcers |
Used a video infrared imaging system and computerized image analysis to study healing progression in intraoral ulcers. |
Wilson et al 1992 |
