## Abstract We employed Raman microspectroscopy to measure the Raman spectra of phosphate in sound and carious tooth substance. The peak intensity at 960 cm^โ1^ of the phosphate (PO~4~^3โ^) symmetric stretching vibrational mode (ฯ ~1~) in sound enamel was stronger than that of sound dentin, which in
