In vivo Optical Coherence Tomography in oral cavity: an update
Vol 36, Issue 2S4, 2022
Abstract
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technique is based on broadband light, using a low coherenceinterferometry system. The OCT technology, in the last decades, has been widely employed in variousmedical branches, showing as a diagnostic mean capable of providing high resolution macroscopic andmicroscopic images of biological tissues. Nowadays, alongside with other in vivo diagnostic means, OCThas been introduced also in dentistry and oral medicine demonstrating as a device of considerable interestboth for hard and soft tissue of oral cavity. Current literature shows off hundreds of studies about feasibilityof OCT application for early diagnosis of oral disorders. The purpose of this paper is to analyze andsummarize the evidence present in the literature, providing an update on the state of the art of the in vivoapplication of OCT on hard and soft tissues of the oral mucosa.
