“…Because OCT and ODT use light as the source, the shape of the probe can be greatly simplified, making it easy to apply in the oral cavity. However, there are some things to consider in order to actually apply optical imaging devices to humans, such as the fact that noise can occur even in delicate movement [26]. This movement includes that of both the patient and operator, and in this study, a specially designed holding device was developed and used to minimize the operator factor.…”

During orthodontic treatment, the early diagnosis of microscopic changes in soft and hard tissues, including periodontal tissue, is very important to prevent iatrogenic side effects like root resorption and periodontal diseases. Cervical periodontal tissue is the most critical area that reacts first to mal-habits or orthodontic forces, and it is also the place where bacteria deposits in the early stage of periodontal diseases. The early diagnosis of hard tissue changes, such as demineralization, is also very important in maintaining a patient’s health during orthodontic treatment. Many diagnostic devices, including radiographic equipment and intra-oral scanners, are helpful in diagnosing these problems, but have certain limitations in invasiveness and precision. The purpose of this study is to verify the possible utilities of non-invasive diagnostic devices in the orthodontic field that can compensate for these limitations. For this, non-invasive optical diagnostic devices, including optical coherence tomography and optical Doppler tomography, were used in vivo with animal and human examination for hard and soft tissues. These devices can provide real-time three-dimensional images at the histological scale. The results of this study verified these devices can be used in clinical practice during orthodontic treatment and introduced a new diagnostic paradigm differentiating microstructural changes in tissues in orthodontic diagnosis.
