Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to analyze the scope, nature, and extent of the applicability of terahertz (THz) spectroscopy in dentistry.
Study Design
A scoping review was conducted following the 5-step methodology of Arksey and O'Malley, the PRISMA-ScR checklist, and the Evidence Synthesis Manual of the Joanna Briggs Institute. Electronic literature searches were performed in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases, including full-text articles with no specific publication period. The following research question was formulated: “What are the applications of THz spectroscopy in the field of dentistry?”
Results
Seventeen laboratory studies were identified, detailing oral and dental applications of THz. In restorative dentistry, 8 investigations sought to identify the properties of human and animal dental tissues and differentiate between healthy and decayed tissue. In oral pathology, 5 articles analyzed the identification of cancer cells in comparison to the identification of these cells in histological or cytological analysis. In biomaterials, 4 papers studied the changes in properties of restorative materials and effects on polymerization.
Conclusion
While the potential for early diagnosis using THz spectroscopy in dentistry is evident, our findings underscore its limitations. The studies were exclusively conducted in vitro, emphasizing the need for innovative clinical research using intraoral devices. Bridging this gap is essential to unlock the full potential of this noninvasive technology for early diagnosis and informed clinical decision-making.
期刊介绍：
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology is required reading for anyone in the fields of oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology or advanced general practice dentistry. It is the only major dental journal that provides a practical and complete overview of the medical and surgical techniques of dental practice in four areas. Topics covered include such current issues as dental implants, treatment of HIV-infected patients, and evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders. The official publication for nine societies, the Journal is recommended for initial purchase in the Brandon Hill study, Selected List of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library.
