INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY ORAL FLUID AS A METHOD FOR EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF INFLAMMATORY PERIODONTAL DISEASES OF CHILDREN
At the moment, there are many techniques, laboratory and clinical, which are widely used for the diagnosis of gingivitis, but not the exact method of prognosis and early diagnosis of gingivitis hasn't been revealed. Since the fundamental solution has not been found among the new diagnostic techniques being under development is infrared spectroscopy, which is widely used in various fields of medicine and which has also found its application in dentistry are of great interest. The paper presents the study of materials on the method of infrared spectroscopy of oral biological fluids for the purpose of early diagnosis of gingivitis in children aged 12-15 years old. A modern method presented differs from others because it allows to predict the manifestation of the disease on early preclinical stages. Infrared spectroscopy is a non-invasive method, inexpensive, easy to perform and highly informative and can be used as an alternative way not only in the diagnosis of a periodontal disease, but also in the study of early forms of manifestations of the disease to assess the long-term results of treatment.
