Analysis of EPR tooth enamel spectra exposed to combined radiation and mechanical effects

In the EPR spectra of tooth enamel samples exposed to sequential radiation and mechanical effect, the intensity of the signal in the spectra of tooth enamel samples exposed to sequential mechanical and radiation effects exceeded the amplitude of a signal in enamel samples that were only exposed to radiation. The increased dosimetric signal can be explained by superposition of mechanically and radiation-induced signals. The contribution of the mechanically induced component to the individual dose load reconstructed by EPR-spectra of tooth enamel has been evaluated.
