Abstract

Introduction: The term “optical biopsy” explains an optic-based imaging technique, based on the principle of low-coherence interferometry and providing structural information about a tissue at a high resolution comparable to histopathology. The applications of optical biopsy in dentistry can be broadly divided into two groups, i.e., assessment of pathologies and assessment of surfaces and interfaces.
In this study we will demonstrate various clinical applications in different dental specialties including restorative dentistry, oral medicine and pathology, oral implantology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, prosthodontics and periodontics.

Aim of the study: Special point of interest is going to be the question: Is this a possible way to increase the accuracy of early diagnosis of serious and potentially life-threatening conditions? Тhe subject will be rounded by approaching the possibility of its application and accessibility as a promising novel tool.

Future recommendations: Faster and more efficient oral biopsy systems possessing higher resolution may replace the need for scalpel biopsies in many clinical situations in the future. Then, optical biopsy may be considered as a potential gold standard diagnostic tool for the detection and characterization of several conditions and lesions of the orofacial region.
