Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine whether periodontal pocket could be satisfactorily visualized by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and to suggest quantitative methods for measuring periodontal pocket depth. Methods: We acquired OCT images of periodontal pockets in a porcine model and determined the actual axial resolution for measuring the exact periodontal pocket depth using a calibration method. Quantitative measurements of periodontal pockets were performed by real axial resolution and compared with the results from manual periodontal probing. Results: The average periodontal pocket depth measured by OCT was $3.10{\pm}0.15mm$, $4.11{\pm}0.17mm$, $5.09{\pm}0.17mm$, and $6.05{\pm}0.21mm$ for each periodontal pocket model, respectively. These values were similar to those obtained by manual periodontal probing. Conclusions: OCT was able to visualize periodontal pockets and show attachment loss. By calculating the calibration factor to determine the accurate axial resolution, quantitative standards for measuring periodontal pocket depth can be established regardless of the position of periodontal pocket in the OCT image.
