Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, lasers and digital dentistry have seen remarkable progress in recent years, using high-tech devices in research with a strong clinical impact. In this context, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is among the most innovative in the field. This Special Issue aims to provide a specialized overview of the latest trends in clinical and laboratory research on the use of OCT in the diagnosis and monitoring of oral hard and soft tissue diseases. The integration of this technology into the dentistry team can revolutionize dental care by improving non-invasive and operator-friendly diagnostic performance. I invite you to contribute your valuable research to this Special Issue.
Dr. Alessio Gambino
Guest Editor
