After irradiation each sample was measured by ESR technique.Experimental results indicate that some difference in radiosensitivity exists for teeth from each subject (coefficients of variation of each subject range from 9.3% to 14.0%). Nevertheless, the mean values for all teeth of each subject among 5 subjects agree within the range of 325.77 to 386.80. It shows that the radiosensitivity of tooth enamel is basically uniform.
