Abstract:
The article presents a comparative analysis of the results of in vivo scanning of oral mucosa leukoplakia with optical coherence tomography (OCT) method and pathological studies in 15 patients (9 females and 6 males aged 27-82). The study revealed specific OCT signs of leukoplakia: even disorder of tissue layering and less clear visualization of lamina propria. OCT is an important stage in the differential diagnosis of leukoplakia of the oral mucosa and significantly complements the clinical and pathomorphological study.

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral
Step 1:
Start by practicing proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Step 2:
Take the thermometer out of the charging unit, switch it on, and wait for the ready sign.
Step 3:
Gently slide the probe cover until a click is heard. This simple action prevents cross-contamination and ensures the correct placement of the probe cover.
Step 4:
Instruct the patient to open their mouth and place...

Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
