Brief Summary
The diagnosis and differentiation between periodontal diseases are currently based on the measuring and interpretation of full-mouth clinical and radiographic criteria. Thermography is a modern non-invasive imaging method in which the infrared radiation emitted by an object allows the mapping and analysis of the exact temperature distribution on the surface of the object. The produced thermal images correlate with variations in local blood supply and tissue metabolism. Thus, suggested to be a useful rapid and non-invasive tool for the diagnosis of periodontal diseases. However, the validity of this tool compared to standard tools should be evaluated.
