Abstract:
PURPOSE: This paper describes the basic principles and the feasibility of the field of dental diagnosis of optical coherence tomography (OCT) used in diverse field of medical diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this review, the research data of OCT were searched from PubMed, medical journal and related papers. RESULTS: Generally, OCT is non-invasive and is possible to secure an excellent spatial resolution and real-time images of biological microstructure. CONCLUSION: This review discusses not only the basic principles of operation, types, advantages, disadvantages of OCT but also the future applications of OCT technology and their potential in the field of dental diagnosis.
