Evaluation of Optical Coherence Tomography in Dentistry
University of Heidelberg Medical Center
20 participants
Dec 4, 2017
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a medical diagnostic tool, providing non-invasive, non-radiative and high resolution imaging. OCT has been established since many years in ophthalmology. In dentistry the diagnostic potential of OCT is currently increasingly being noticed. This clinical study includes two individual trials: (i) Longitudinal assessment of surface sealant thickness using optical coherence tomography and (ii) comparison of crevicular fluid levels of inflammatory cytokines after the application of surface sealants.
