Application of Optical Coherence Tomography in Oral Mucosal Diseases

doi:10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2022.10.003

Abstract

Abstract: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides a real-time and non-invasive method to visualize layered structures with interferometric tomography. It is widely used in ophthalmology and cardiovascular fields. In recent years, OCT has emerged in the non-invasive diagnosis of oral mucosal diseases. This article explains the principles, classification, and application of OCT, focusing on the application of OCT in the oral mucosal diseases to provide references for further research and clinical applications.

Key words: optical coherence tomography, oral mucosal diseases, diagnostic imaging
