Potential Imaging Capability of Optical Coherence Tomography as Dental Optical Probe: A Mini-Review

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been emerging in the dental field as an alternative diagnostic imaging for “optical probes” owing to its micro-meter resolution and non-invasiveness. This review aims to answer the following question: what is the imaging capability of OCT to visualize the subgi...
