Low-cost, Noninvasive Method to Assess Pulpal Vitality

October 28, 2022 updated by: Beckman Laser Institute and Medical Center, University of California, Irvine

The purpose of this research study is to find a new way of using light to measure the blood flow within the tooth.

The researcher develop dental Laser Speckle imaging system tool that can use for exam condition of the tooth. This device is reliable method to provide information to dentists and endodontists during oral examination.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In additional to routine oral exam the researcher can use the Laser Speckle imaging system probe with low-level light shine to the problematic tooth to collect blood flow information.
