Laser Doppler Imaging - as a Non-invasive Method for Assesing Regional Microcirculation when using Plastic Materials for Guided Healing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present study we evaluated the applicability of laser Doppler line scanning in recording the gingival healing process after a surgical procedure followed by two types of plastic provisional restoration. The laser Doppler imaging is a non-invasive method for analyzing the perfusion map of a certain area and can be used in order to establish the health status of a certain region after surgical treatment. The two types of plastic temporaries had no negative influence on the healing process.

متن کاملNon-Invasive Capillary Blood Flow Measurement: Laser Speckle and Laser Doppler
Microcirculation is essential for the proper supply of oxygen and nutritive substances to the biological tissue and the removal of waste products of metabolism. The determination of blood flow in the capillaries is therefore of great interest to clinicians. A comparison has been carried out using the developed non-invasive, non-contact and whole field laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) based...
