Abstract
A misting free dental mirror is obtained near the human temperature under t he saturated humidity atmosphere by use of the sheet electron beam irradiat ion treatment, It is shown that electron beam irradiation treatment decreas es the time to clear vision in a misted mirror. This effect is due to an en hancement of the interfacial energy between the dental mirror glass and wat er.
