Sample preparation of tooth enamel for electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) dosimetry usually involves mechanical operations. The present study shows that mechanical operations performed without water cooling generate a paramagnetic center inducing a stable isotropic EPR signal with g-value of 2.00320 and linewidth of about 0.1 mT. Using EPR spectrum simulation, the similarity between the mechanically induced signal and the signal generated when the enamel is heated in air at a temperature above 600 degrees C was investigated. Results indicate that the mechanically induced signal is related to sample temperature increase during mechanical friction.
