Abstract Proton induced gamma-ray emission (PIGE) and proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis was employed to investigate the distribution of the concentration of fluorine and ten other elements along sections of teeth samples, extracted from eight individuals. These sections which included the bulk of dentine and enamel were scanned using a proton beam of 250 μm diameter. Rutberford backscattering spectra were also collected in order to obtain information about the concentration of major elements and to correct for matrix inhomogeneities.
