Abstract:
The conventional model of assessing periodontal disease involves a clinical examination to screen for inflammation-related signs, the presence of supra- and subgingival calculus, and periodontal probing to estimate bone loss.Traditional periodontal probing is prone to errors during its execution and fails to identify periodontal disease in the subclinical stage, despite its low cost, widespread use, and acceptance in the clinical setting.The use of alternative techniques like optical coherence tomography has sparked attention owing to the need for an early diagnosis approach and for monitoring periodontal tissues with improved precision, sensitivity, and noninvasiveness.A novel technique for noninvasively examining the interior tooth and soft tissue microstructure is optical coherence tomography. The discipline of dentistry has discovered the value of optical coherence technology (OCT), which has recently grown in relevance in the fields of medicine and research.In the field of periodontics, it has recently been demonstrated to be effective to assess gingival health, periodontal pocket, and peri implant conditions beforehand, making the treatment less challenging considerably before there is significant damage to the tooth structures.Much research is being done to improve the clinical application of OCT in dental medicine, which is anticipated to be a revolutionary prospective next generation diagnostic imaging tool. This review article focuses on the fundamentals, principles, and several research proving the value of OCT in the domain of Periodontics and implant dentistry.
