Silicon phantom models have been utilized to calculate light fluence in patients being treated with Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). This application can be utilized for other non-ionizing wavelength therapies such as Photobiomodulation (PBM). We have developed a novel protocol to validate homogeneity for 3-dimensional silicon phantom models of the human maxilla. Accurately quantifying the light profiles of human tissue can accommodate for varying optical properties that occur between subjects. More importantly, this can help optimize light fluence dosimetry calculations to achieve intended results. Silicon models of identical composition were fabricated into two different shapes: 1 flat-planar cylindrical shaped model, 2) non-flat planar (3-dimensional) mold of the human maxilla.Fabricating homogenous silicon phantom models continues to be a challenge as micro-bubbles can contaminate the compound during the curing process. Integrating both proprietary CBCT and handheld surface acquisition imaging devices confirmed our results to be within 0.5mm of accuracy. This protocol was specifically used to cross-reference and validate homogeneity at various depths of penetration. These results present the first known successful validation of identical silicon tissue phantoms with a flat-planar surface vs. a non-flat 3D planar surface. This proof-of-concept phantom validation protocol is sensitive to the specific variations of 3-dimensional surfaces and can be applied to a workflow used to capture accurate light fluence calculations in the clinical setting.
