Optical Methods for Periodontitis Early Rapid Diagnosis

The results of experimental study of periodontitis early diagnosis using optical methods (Raman spectroscopy and confocal microscopy) are presented. The features of Raman spectra of saliva for the studied groups of patients have been established. It is shown that the main markers of periodontitis are the lines of 1556 cm-1 and 1738 cm-1. The results of the research using Raman spectroscopy have been compared with the microscopic analysis.
