For this purpose, In order to excite the samples a 241Am radioisotope source with 50 mCi intensity and 59.5 keV energy and another 55Fe radio isotope source with 100 mCi intensity and 5.96 keV energy. To count the characteristic X-rays emitted from samples, an ultra LEGe detector with resolution 150 eV at 5.96 keV, was used. The analysis results in human tooth samples S, Ca, Cu and Zn trace elements were found to be.}, number={1}, publisher={Adıyaman University}
