Abstract

OCT is a potential diagnostic tool for the early diagnosis of oral diseases. The overall burden of oral diseases is high globally, and screening and early detection can prevent a high incidence of dental caries, periodontal diseases, and oral cancer. Advances in miniature hand-held optic devices and the birefringence property of enamel with the anisotropic property of dentin allow the use of OCT in early caries detection. The varied histology of oral cavity tissue raises limitations in its use. However, with advances in nanoparticles, OCTA, dual-axi, andT and integration of AI, OCT promises to be the standardized diagnostic tool in the future.
