    The present invention relates to a quantitative "ex vivo" method for the complementary diagnosis of the degree of dental demineralization by the use of raman spectroscopy, which comprises the quantification of the intensities and areas of a variety of the stokes bands of the spectrum and the definition and calculation of indices that result from dividing the areas of certain bands of interest. The diagnosis is determined by the proximity of the values of these indexes with the values previously obtained for the standard pattern of dental mineralization established from the analysis of healthy dental pieces. This procedure provides a complementary biomedical technique for quantitative "ex vivo" analysis, in remains of dental tissues extracted by medical prescription, of the degree of dental demineralization and whose information will facilitate the prescription of the appropriate treatment for its remission or prevention.

    less conventional diagnostic methods, such as fiber optic trans-lighting, electrical conductivity measurements and laser fluorescence methodologies (Medina J. c., Salgo N., Acevedo AM Evaluation of diagnostic methods in caries detection Dental by Venezuelan dentists Acta Odontológica Venezolana, 2, Caracas, 2006). These techniques present some improvements over conventional radiographs but cannot yet replace them. For example, in the case of trans-illumination, it is not possible to take images under the gingival margin line nor accurate measurements of the depth of the proximal lesion. In the case of electrical conductivity measurements, there are a large number of variables on which the final value of resistance to the electrical conductivity of each tooth will depend, such as porosity, saliva volume in the concentration zone, temperature and ion concentration. It is, therefore, a technique with high variability and lower specificity than the visual inspection in which, in addition, the clinical exploration time has not yet been optimized. Finally, in terms of laser fluorescence methodologies, it has been shown that the size of the lesion alters the level of fluorescence, which stops the quantified value resulting in a high number of false positives with cases diagnosed as hypo-mineralization due to tooth decay in cases of developing teeth. Finally, there are also the so-called multi-photon imaging techniques, infrared tem10graphy or optical coherence tomography that constitute other diagnostic methods under investigation today (Lizmar D. Veitía E., Acevedo A. M, Rojas Sánchez
    F. Bibliographic Reviews: Conventional and unconventional methods for the detection of initial caries lesion. Venezuelan Dental Act 201149 (2) 1-14).
    Despite all these advances, it is important to note that visual inspection followed by an x-ray is still considered the most effective method for "in vivo" diagnosis (Lizmar on 11-20, vide supra). However, in the absence of improvements in specificity, it would also be of interest to be able to detect the extent of the affected tissue and the degree of activity of the lesion as well as a greater degree of sensitivity to detect dental demineralization in the early stages, and not only provide dichotomous responses (presence / absence of the disease) as is currently the case (Takany Basting R and Campos SelTa M. OcJusal caries: Diagnosis and noninvasive treatments. Quintessence In !. 30, pp 174-178, 1999; Nigel B. Pitts. Clinical Diagnosis of Dental Caries: An European Perspective. Joumal of Dental Education, 10, pp 972-979, 200 1). On the other hand, the development of complementary biomedical technologies that pennitan the "ex vivo" study of the composition of dental tissues already extracted to the patient by medical prescription, is also of great interest to complement the diagnosis of the oral health of the patient and thus being able to promote preventive or remission treatments accordingly.

    Raman spectroscopy is a photonic analytical technique of high spatial resolution whose fundamental principle is based on the excitation of a target tissue with a monochromatic laser and the subsequent recording of inelastic scattered light, which constitutes Raman radiation. This inelastic dispersion allows obtaining information about molecular vibrations by measuring the differences between the energy of the incident photons and the dispersed photons. Thus, for example, since diseases and other pathological abnormalities lead to chemical and structural changes, changes in the Raman spectra of vibration are observed that can be used as phenotypic, disease-sensitive markers.
    In fact, the Raman spectrum peaks of 400 to 1800 cm-I have been correlated with the molecular vibrations considered as biochemically relevant for certain diseases or other pathological anomalies where chemical and structural changes occur; such changes can then be quantified in the Raman spectrum and used as a phenotypic marker, sensitive to each disease as a molecular fingerprint of the target tissue, detected by the type of specific molecular vibrations of the chemical bonds of nucleic acids, lipids and biological proteins. These chemical bonds evaluated by Raman spectroscopy will constitute narrow vibration peaks in certain spectral regions, in contrast to the largely unspecific broad emission and low resolution profiles obtained, for example, by fluorescence methods (Hughes OR, N. Stone , M. Kraft, C. Arens, MA Birchall, Head Neck 2010; 32 (11), 1544; Li Y., ZN Wen, LJ Li, ML Li, N. Gao, YZ Guo, J. Raman Speclrosc. 2010; 41 (2), 142; Stone N., C. Kendall, N. Shepherd, P. Crow, H. Barr, J. Ramal1 Speclrosc. 2002; 33 (7), 564).
    The collection or collection of Raman spectra does not disturb the cellular environment and this spectroscopy is able to conduct minimal alterations in the biochemical composition of living cells and give rise to a diagnostic molecular fingerprint of target tissue (Valdés R, Stefanov S, Chiussi S , López-Álvarez M, González P. Pilot research on the evaluation and detection of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma by Raman spectroscopy. Loumal of Raman Spectroscopy 45 (7), 2014, 550-557). At the same time this methodology does not require special preparation of the sample or markers, the presence of water does not distort the analysis, the acquisition of the spectrum is fast and the Raman band intensity is directly proportional to the concentration. Given all these advantages in the last decade there have been important technological advances both in spectrometry and in computer techniques that have allowed significant progress in Raman spectroscopy applied to life and biological sciences (OC of Veld OC, Bakker Schut TC, Skurichina M, Witjes MJ, Van der Wal lE, Roodenburg JL, Sterenborg HJ. Lasers Med Sci 2005, 19 (4): 203-9], [N Stone, MSc Barr, MD (Dist.). Laryngoscope, 1 O: 1756 - 763, 2000] [Harris AT, Garg M, Yang XB, Fisher SE, Kirkham J, Sll1ith DA, Martin-Hirsch DP, High AS: Raman spectroscopy and advanced ll1athematical 1l10delling in the discrimination of human thyroid cell lines Head Neck Oncol 2009.1 (): 38).
    image5 Raman Spectroscopy in Dentistry
    Raman spectroscopy has been investigated for decades as a diagnostic tool for the characterization of early malignant changes that occur in the upper gastrointestinal tract, as well as in a range of other tissues including the bladder, breast, bone, lung, blood , lymph nodes, larynx and stomach (Xerxes W., B. Swinson, D. Pickard, GJ Thomas, C. Hopper, Oral Oncol. 2004; 40 (7), 673; Almond LM, J. Hutchings,
    N. Shepherd, H. Barr,. Stone, C. Kendall, 1. BiopholOIl. 2011; 4 ( 0), 685; Barman L., N. C. Dingari, G. P. Singh, R. Kumar, S. Lang, G. Nabi, Alla /. Bioalla /. Chem. 20 2; 404 ( 0), 3091; Hanlon E. B., R. Manoharan, T. W. Koo, K. E. Shafer, J. T. Motz, M. Fitzmaurice, J. R. Kramer, 1. Itzkan, R. R. Dasari, M. S. Feld, Phys. Med. Bio. 2000; 45 (2), 1; Tu Q., C. Chang, Nanomedicine 20 2; 8 (5), 545). However, clinical studies in hard mineralized tissue remain scarce, even though due to the high degree of sensitivity, in terms of detecting structural changes at the molecular level in mineralized tissues, such as phenotypic markers of a specific chemical specificity, the Raman spectroscopy emerges as a powerful diagnostic tool for the detection and evaluation of the degree of dental demineralization.
    Thus, within the few works oriented to mineralized tissues, Ko el al (2005) (Ko ACT, Choo-Smith LP, Hewko M, Leonardi L, Sowa MG, Dong CCS, Williams P, Cleghom B. Ex vivodetection and characterization of early denta! calies by optica! coherence tomography and Raman spectroscopy. Jouma! of Biomedica! Optics 2005, 10 (3), Artiele number 031 8) published an ex vivo detection and characterization of incipient dental caries by combining tomography Optical coherence (OCT) with Rall1an spectroscopy providing images for the detection of caries and the determination of the depth of the lesion and, using Raman spectroscopy, obtained the biochemical confinnation of that calies. The same authors, Ko el al (Ko ACT, Choo-Smith, LP, Hewko M, Sowa MG, Dong CCS, Cleghom B. Detection of early dental caries using polarized Raman spectroscopy. Optics Express 2006, 14 (1), 203- 215) published the detection of incipient dental caries in extracted human teeth using polarized Raman spectroscopy to discriminate between incipient dental caries and healthy enamel. Finally, again Ko el al (Ko ACT, Choo-Smith LP, Zhu R, Hewko M, Dong C, Cleghom B, Sowa MG. Application of NIR Raman spectroscopy for Proceedings of SPIE 2006, 6093, Article number 60930L) published the Raman NIR spectroscopy application to detect and characterize incipient dental caries in extracted human teeth where nearby IR laser excitation provided the biochemical contrast.

    Mohanty el al (Mohanty B, Dadlani D, Mahoney D, Mann AB. Characterizing and identifying incipient carious lesions in dental enamel using micro-Raman spectroscopy. Caries Research 2013, 47 (1), 27-33) characterized and identified "ex vivo "cases of incipient caries (grown on human molars under controlled exposure to lactic acid) in dental enamel using micro-Raman spectroscopy to conclude that said spectroscopy presents both sensitivity and selectivity requirements to identify lesions of incipient caries, however the presence of a surface layer with a relatively high mineral content could complicate the analysis. Carvalho el al (Carvalho FB, Barbosa AFS, Zanin FAA, Brugnera Júnior A, Silveira Júnior L, Pinheiro ALB. Use of laser fluorescence in dental caries diagnosis: A fluorescence x biomolecular vibrational spectroscopic comparative study. Brazilian Dental Joumal 2013, 24 (1 ), 59-63) investigated "ex vivo" the use of laser fluorescence in dental caries diagnosis to verify the existence of a correlation between Raman spectroscopy readings of apatite phosphate group levels (-960 cm · I ), fluorinated apatites (-575 cm · l) and organic matrix (-1450 cm · l) in different phases of dental caries in extracted human teeth. Finally, Salehi el al (Salehi H, Terrer E, Panayotov 1, Levallois B, Jacquot B, Tassery H, Cuisinier F Functional mapping of human sound and carious enamel and dentin with Raman spectroscopy. Joumal of Biophotonics 2013, 6 (10), 765-774) carried out a functional mapping "ex vivo" of extracted human teeth, specifically of human enamel and of enamel and dentin with caries, by Raman spectroscopy through an accurate analysis of the variations of the spectrum of the Raman band of mineral and organic components.
    All these research works carried out "ex vivo" in dental tissues as a biopsy validate the interest of the present invention regarding the potential of Raman spectroscopy as a complementary clinical tool for the diagnosis of dental demineralization. However, all of them propose the use of this technology with a qualitative approach to the identification of functional groups of interest in mineralized tissues. Therefore, the potential implementation of Raman in the clinic would still require a large amount of time to evaluate the spectra and, once evaluated, a numerical index of the potential degree of demineralization of the remains of analyzed dental tissues would not be obtained.
    image7
    The relevant aspect of the present invention refers to the proposal of a "" ex vivo "" procedure for the quantitative evaluation of the degree of dental demineralization by Raman spectroscopy, characterized by:
    5 1-Quantify in the Raman spectrum, obtained after irradiating the dental piece with laser light, the areas of the Stokes bands associated with the groups: P04 ".l hydroxyapatite bending (430 cnyl), P04" 3 hydroxyapatite slrelching (960 cnyl) and the CH group. of lipids and proteins (2941 cnyl) and calculate the values of the following relative indices defined for diagnosis:
    the Mineralization index bending (1Mb): band area P04 ".l 2941 cm" l.at 430 cnyl / C-H band area.to
    Slrelching Mineralization Index (IMs): P04 band area .1 to 960 cnyl / C-H band area, to 2941 cm "l.
    fifteen 2-Determine the diagnosis by proximity of the values obtained with the pattern of n0n11 quality for the mineralization levels of the healthy tooth, established in 1,351.75 for MIb and 4.01-5.19 for MIs.
    twenty For the estimation of the indices, healthy dental pieces have been analyzed and both the random error derived from the measurement process itself and the systematic error derived from fluctuations inherent to the equipment due to variations in the topography of the sample have been taken into account. Both healthy and affected human dental pieces with varying degrees of caries used to establish the indices of the present invention were extracted by medical indication after diagnosis of periodontal and tailpiece disease.
    25 30 Another aspect of the invention relates to the diversity of sampling modes. The preparation of samples "" ex vivo "pennite the examination in the laboratory using conventional Raman equipment, understood as" "ex vivo" "the analysis of samples of dental tissue obtained, by medical prescription for other pathologies, by way of biopsy to through techniques currently standardized in dental practice such as dental microbiopsy by acid etching, by abrasion cuts with s% ~~ / ex discs or fragments in case of using dental enamel cuts with instrumental or rotary and, finally, exodontics Dental (in the latter case it would not be a generalized technique because it is not harmless unlike the rest of the previous techniques).
    This procedure can use a variety of types of lasers that emit in the visible range, such as the He-Ne laser (632 nm), diode laser (637 nm, 785 nm) or the like and the radiation emitting lasers in the ultraviolet ranges (usually 488 nm or 532 nm) or near infrared, such as the Nd-Y AG laser (1064 nm).
    image8
    complementary to different types of diseases that affect hard tissues of the tooth starting with tooth decay but also including fluorosis or amelogenesis imperfecta (Al), since all three promote changes in the ultrastructure and in the ratios of the different tooth compounds (organic versus the mineral part). This procedure is especially applicable to the "ex vivo" diagnosis of incipient dental demineralization, without external signs indicating its presence, so that it will facilitate its diagnosis, currently difficult with routine "in vivo" techniques.
    In another aspect of the invention, the present method can be implemented by computer or other electronic means in addition to software designed for the immediate calculation of the established mineralization indices and thus facilitate and expedite the treatment of diagnostic information.
    The Raman spectrum of enamel and dentin of healthy human teeth are presented at the end of this document (Figure 1) and the proven linear relationship between the areas of the bands of interest with respect to the incident laser radiation (Figure 2). Description of the drawings

    5 In a particular embodiment, two dental pieces with different external appearance of demineralization: upper molar (Figure 3 (a »and upper premolar (Figure 3 (b», extracted from two patients by medical indication after diagnosis of periodontal disease due to discharge) mobility, were evaluated by Raman spectroscopy, both figures show the dental pieces analyzed "ex vivo" from different angles: buccal, occlusal and longitudinal section in detail.
    10 15 In the images of the upper molar (Figure 3 (a », clear external signs of dental demineralization are observed. In the case of the premolar tooth (Figure 3 (b», this presents an internal demineralization without clear external signs of an imbalance in demineralization and Dental caries, which will allow to evaluate the depth of detection of the Raman signal in the tissue, when presenting a longitudinal section, the lime can be observed; it is internal dental, so zone 1 in Figure 3 corresponds in both cases to the enamel healthy, zone 2 to the dentine affected by caries and zone 3 to the external area of interest to be evaluated by quantitative Raman methodology by indexes.
    As a preferred embodiment, the following procedure is described for the diagnosis of dental demineralization in areas without external evidence:
    20 25 l. Selection of those remains of dental tissue removed by medical indication after the diagnosis of various pathologies and with certain suspicions of mineralization imbalance due to diagnosis but without clear external evidence. 2. Analysis of the surface of these dental pieces (Figure 3 (a) and (b »using Raman spectroscopy to obtain the corresponding spectra. 3. Obtaining, for each spectrum in the external zones (zone 1 and zone 3 for the two dental pieces) from the areas of the Raman bands at 430 cm · l, 960 cm-I and 2941 cm-l 4. From the areas of the Raman bands of interest the mineralization indices (Mlb and MIs are obtained) ) for each zone; these indices for the practical case raised are the following:
    Upper molar Upper premolar
    Mlb MIs MlbMIs
    Zone 1 1,5714,7351,6514,069
    Zone 3 0.3691,0390.3121,030
    image10
    values assigned to the pattern of nonnality with respect to mineralization obtained from the study of healthy teeth, and established in: .35 - . 75 for Mlb and 4.01-5.19 for Mls. A diagnosis is made by comparing the values of these indices with the
    5 normality parameters.
    The results obtained for the case studies using the proposed mineralization indices clearly validate the Raman spectroscopy together with the pattern of nonnality established for mineralization levels in healthy enamel as a complementary quantitative, reliable, objective and self-sufficient technique to diagnose the Dental demineralization with high levels of specificity and sensitivity both at the surface level and in internal tissues of the tooth. This methodology can be easily transferred to the clinic for application in dental pieces extracted from patients as a quantitative and objective complement in the diagnosis to apply future treatments according to the degree of quantified dental demineralization. From this almost real time indexes are obtained 15 mineralization of the "" ex vivo "dental pieces under study and their correspondence with the confidence interval or pattern of nonnality for healthy states of dental mineralization is verified. The early diagnosis of demineralization processes is essential to be able to apply a treatment as aggressive as possible and ensure good oral health; this methodology will categorize the degree of demineralization of dental pieces in a
    20 quantitative approach even in incipient caries or not clearly manifested externally to prescribe preventive treatments to the patient in line with the degree of quantized demineralization.

    The object of the invention studied is a quantitative procedure "ex vivo" for the complementary diagnosis of the degree of dental demineralization through the use of Raman spectroscopy, which includes the quantification of the intensities and areas of a variety of Stokes bands of the spectrum and the definition and calculation of indices that result from dividing the areas of certain bands of interest. This procedure provides a complementary biomedical technique for quantitative analysis "ex vivo", in remnants of dental tissues extracted by medical prescription, the degree of dental demineralization and whose information will facilitate the prescription of treatment according to its remission or prevention. Document D01 describes a procedure for the early detection of dental caries is carried out using a method that combines optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Raman spectroscopy to provide morphological information and biochemical specificity for the detection and characterization of incipient lesions of caries that show extracted human teeth. OCT tomography demonstrated a greater light of backscatter intensity at caries lesion sites compared to healthy enamel. Raman spectroscopy is used to further characterize caries by detecting alterations of induced demineralization of crystallite enamel morphology and / or orientation. OTC imaging tomography is useful for caries detection and determining the sites of depth of the lesion, with Raman spectroscopy providing biochemical confirmation of caries. Document D02 claims a system, method and apparatus for determining the composition of a sample of material. In one embodiment, the method refers to the photon count that is inelastically dispersed throughout the sample, and to minimize the effects of fluorescent or phosphorescent photons. In yet another embodiment of the invention, a sample is illuminated by a repetitive pulse of monochromatic light, and the resulting photons dispersed from the samples were collected and counted during a predetermined integration period. Therefore, the characteristics of claims 1-4 are already known in document D01-D02 and applied in the same field of work. Although the standards set forth in claim 1 of the application do not appear explicitly in the cited documents, it is obvious to a person skilled in the art to deduce this measurement pattern from the information disclosed in the documents mentioned in the report. Therefore claims 1-4 would be novel (Article 6.1 Patent Law 11/86), but have no inventive activity in view of the state of the known art (Article
    [8]
    8.1 Patent Law 11/86). Claims 1-4 of the application meet the requirement of industrial application in the field of dental diagnosis, according to article 9 of Patent Law 11/86.
