Raman Spectroscopy of Changes in the Tissues of Teeth with Periodontitis

Abstract

The results of experimental studies of the tissues of teeth with periodontitis, using the Raman spectroscopy method, are presented in this work. Spectral changes in the tissues of teeth with periodontitis were identified, and the results can be used for the correction of treatment of this disease in dental practice. Criteria for the noninvasive diagnosis of periodontitis, based on changes in tooth enamel spectral properties, were developed.

Optical Diagnostics in Human Diseases

“…Timchenko and colleagues studied the changes in tooth tissues in periodontitis using Raman spectroscopy for early and rapid diagnosis and the correction of treatment. The obtained results are a prerequisite for creating a device for rapid in vivo assessment of periodontitis based on changes in tooth enamel spectral values [ 7 ].…”

Raman Spectroscopy for Assessment of Hard Dental Tissues in Periodontitis Treatment

“…Despite the existing progress in the study of periodontitis [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ], our study results are of great importance for the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases, could help significantly improve the quality of life of patients during therapy, and shorten the rehabilitation period.…”

“…Our previously published work [ 22 ] contained diagnosed spectral changes in the tissues of teeth with severe periodontitis and the developed algorithm of verification of tooth enamel with periodontitis to identify at-risk patients and perform diagnostic screening of patients with periodontitis.…”

Periodontitis detection using Raman spectroscopy, support vector machine, and salivary biomarkers

“…Clinical and radiographic parameters are used to diagnose periodontal diseases. [ 3 ] Recently, a study by Timchenko et al [ 62 ] recently used Raman spectroscopy to diagnose periodontitis from changes in the dental mineral matrix. However, salivary flow shows promise as a diagnostic test in the study of different oral diseases such as periodontal disease, [ 7,63,64 ] which combined with Raman spectroscopy makes it possible to identify biomarkers associated with periodontitis, making the diagnosis more efficient, with greater sensitivity and specificity.…”
