abstract = "Measurement of dental enamel conductivity is used to estimate the level of decay. A model enabling the conductivity estimation from an admittance measurement was developed, and preliminary data from in vitro experiments are presented.The measured immittance of the whole tooth structure is influenced by electrode size, temperature, contact pressure, and what is essential by electrical properties (in different manner and range) of biological materials contained in the tooth. It is known that under well-defined circumstances immittance measurements can be used to detect the presence of lesions [1,2,3]. In this paper, two measurements models are considered and verified by means of experimental data.The aim of this study is to develop a method that allows discrimination between healthy and pathologically changed teeth, while exhibiting a low variability between repeated measurements.",
