Abstract

To date, there is still a lack of reliable imaging modalities to improve the quality of medical examinations of the oral mucosa in dentistry. One promising imaging technologies is optical coherence tomography (OCT). The present study provides in vivo intensity-based OCT cross sections of the human oral mucosa of the anterior and posterior oral cavity as well as the oropharynx of 47 disease-free adult volunteers. The randomized blinded image analysis was performed by means of 3,560 OCT cross sections using a set of seven qualitative and quantitative criteria to assess the epithelium and the lamina propria.
