Abstract:

Optical coherence tomography(OCT) is a novel optical imaging technique that combines optical coherence with confocal laser scanning. It allows real-time imaging, is non-invasive, uses nonionizing radiation, has a high resolution, and has a high speed. OCT is important in the detection and diagnosis of early stages of diseases involving the teeth, periodontal tissue, and the oral mucosa. This paper reviews the main principle and application progress of OCT for diagnosing oral diseases such as dental caries, periodontal disease, oral cancer and its precursor lesion, oral gland diseases, oral vascular lesions, oral mucositis, and apical microleakage.

Key words: optical coherence tomography, dental caries, oral cancer, periodontal tissue
