Applicability of Infrared Thermography in Dentistry: Mini Review
Journal Title: Journal of Dental Health and Oral Research - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Infrared thermography is a precise, non-invasive and safe method for measuring superficial temperature, with increasing application in different areas of dentistry, such as endodontics, implantology, restorative dentistry, periodontics, prosthodontics, surgery and principally, for the diagnosis of temporomandibular dysfunction. The aim of this study is to briefly present how thermographic imaging has been used in dentistry. The use of thermography is still restricted in dentistry, but it has great potential for use in daily practice.
