Optical Coherence Tomography in Dentistry: Scientific Developments to Clinical Applications

A comprehensive guide to the principles and clinical applications of OCT technology within the oral health field. The text establishes a foundation by explaining the physics of light and how its interactions with biological matter allow for high-resolution, non-invasive imaging of both hard and soft tissues. Beyond theory, the chapters explore practical uses in specialized areas such as cariology, orthodontics, and prosthodontics, emphasizing the detection of early-stage decay and the evaluation of material interfaces. The authors also highlight the role of functional OCT in diagnosing oral malignancies and monitoring the integrity of dental implants. Despite challenges regarding equipment cost and the need for specialized training, the sources present this technology as a transformative diagnostic tool that offers real-time, three-dimensional insights far exceeding the capabilities of traditional radiographs. Ultimately, the work envisions a future where portable, high-resolution probes provide clinicians with an "optical biopsy" to improve patient outcomes and treatment precision.
