Analysis of Line-Field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT) in Characterization of Gingival Systemic Health, Gingivitis and Periodontitis

N/AEnrolling By InvitationNCT06831487

University of Catania60 enrolled

Overview

The aim of the study is to identify tissue changes among healthy patients, patients with gingivitis and with periodontitis before and after treatment, by analyzing tissues changes through Line-Field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT)

The tissue changes among healthy patients, patients with gingivitis and with periodontitis before and after treatment, by analyzing tissues changes through Line-Field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT) will be evaluated through changes on epithelium before and after non surgical periodontal treatment
