Detection of pulse in oral mucosa and dental pulp by means of optical reflection method

Abstract: This paper describes a new system in which optical reflectance is used to test the pulse and vitality of oral mucosa or dental pulp. Radiation at red (660 nm) and near infra-red (850 nm) wavelengths are directed through a thin probe. The beam is directed into tissue and reflected back. Plethysmography is used to measure the pulse rate from the right forefinger. Reflected radiation is related to plethysmogram using a computer. Preliminary findings relating to the lips and gingiva in 9 healthy volunteers were pr… Show more

“…Intrinsic limitations include excessive carbon dioxide in the blood stream interfering with deoxygenating values. Increased acidity and a metabolic rate arising from inflammation cause deoxygenating of hemoglobin and changes in the blood oxygen saturation (1,29,31,44,54).…”

“…This is a limitation of the general use of the pulse oximeter in dentistry. The probes used for finger or infants' foot readings cannot accommodate the tooth structure because of the beam distortion, so some researchers have successfully used modified finger probes or adapted the instrument to the teeth to show the system reliability in the diagnosis of pulp vitality (12,14,22,31,32,44,59).…”

“…It must be emphasized that only the blood flow of the marginal gingiva was emulated in this study. In vivo, blood flow in other structures, such as the periodontium [18,30,38], lip and tongue [6,44] pose additional sources for non-pulpal PPG signals, as has already been shown for LDF signals [22,23,45].…”

“…Os autores relatam que em incisivos de macaco reimplantados ou transplantados, observados durante 9 meses, constatou-se uma produção média de dentina de 4 micrometros por dia. Essa produção acelerada ocorreria, presumivelmente , por uma perda de controle nervoso autônomo ou sensorial do odontoblasto (INOUE; KUROSAKAY; ABE, 1992 , 1994;NISSAN et al, 1992;OIKARINEN et al, 1996). Mills (1992) ratifica as vantagens desse recurso para determinação da vitalidade pulpar por meio do monitoramento do suprimento sangüíneo dental, porém cita algumas desvantagens com relação ao aparato tais como: movimentação do sensor e do aparelho, sinal fraco, necessidade de uma sonda dental especial e de um gel de união entre essa e o dente para melhor transmissão da luz.…”

Oikarinen et al (1996) estudaram um sistema onde a reflexão óptica era utilizada para testar o pulso e a vitalidade da mucosa oral e da polpa dental, utilizando uma fibra óptica pela qual era transmitida uma radiação vermelha (660 nm) e infravermelha (850 nm) através dos tecidos. Tal sistema baseia-se na absorção por reflexão óptica, porém, necessita de um pulso arterial para sua mensuração e em função disso é similar à oximetria de pulso.…”
