Zusammenfassung:	Provided are a system and a method for measuring volume of tooth enamel. The system for measuring volume of tooth enamel according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a light coherence tomography device which radiates light to teeth for B-scan in the longitudinal direction of the teeth and C-scan in the width direction, and generates a plurality of B-scan tomography images about the teeth based on reflected light; a volume measuring unit which calculates an area from each B-scan tomography image by extracting an enamel area of the teeth from each generated B-scan tomography image, and measures volume of the enamel by summing the calculated area of the B-scan tomography images. 치아 법랑질의 부피 측정 시스템 및 그 방법이 제공된다. 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 치아 법랑질의 부피 측정 시스템은 치아의 길이 방향으로 B-스캔하고, 폭 방향으로 C-스캔하도록 상기 치아에 광을 조사하고, 반사된 광에 기반하여 상기 치아에 대한 다수의 B-스캔 단층 이미지를 생성하는 광 간섭성 단층 촬영 장치, 및 상기 생성된 각각의 B-스캔 단층 이미지로부터 상기 치아의 법랑질 영역을 추출하여 상기 각각의 B-스캔 단층 이미지에서의 면적을 산출하고, 상기 다수의 B-스캔 단층 이미지의 산출된 면적을 합산하여 법랑질의 부피를 측정하는 부피 측정부를 포함한다.
