Abstract:
Raman?spectroscopy?is?an?optical?technology?based?on?the?theory?of?Raman?scattering,?which?is?generally?used?in?the?research?of?medical?and?biological?science.?Raman?spectroscopy?can?be?used?to?detect?the?molecular?structures?and?com-ponents?of?proteins,?lipids,?DNA,?and?other?biological?molecules,?and?provide?substantial?information?about?molecules.?Thus,?Raman?spectroscopy?is?generally?considered?a?“molecular?fingerprint”,?and?it?has?exceptional?advantages?in?medical?research.?Moreover,?this?technique?can?reflect?the?changes?in?molecular?structures?and?detect?the?alterations?of?chemical?constituents?in?the?samples.?Raman?spectroscopy,?given?its?high?sensitivity?and?specificity?in?the?detection?of?the?biological?samples,?has?been?successfully?used?to?detect?and?diagnose?diseases?in?numerous?sites,?such?as?skin,?oral?mucosa,?breast,?head,?and?neck.?In?this?paper,?we?introduce?the?application?of?Raman?spectroscopy?in?stomatology?by?conducting?a?review?of?the?literature.
