Abstract

We use optical coherence tomography (OCT) with a specially designed probe to structurally image the tissue within the oral cavity. We have imaged different types of healthy oral mucosa, including masticatory mucosa in gingiva and lining mucosa in buccal mucosa. OCT can be used to differentiate between the various types of keratinized and non-keratinized mucosa with high resolution.
