INNOVATIVE METHODS OF MEASUREMENT IN ORTHOPEDIC DENTISTRY: LASER INTERFEROMETRY AND ITS ROLE

Abstract

. Laser interferometers are an important tool in prosthetic dentistry, used to measure microscopic structures and surfaces of teeth and oral tissues. These devices allow dentists to obtain accurate data on the shape and condition of teeth, which significantly improves the quality of treatment for patients in need of dental prosthetics. The relevance of the use of laser interferometers in orthopedic dentistry at present is due to several important factors, such as high measurement accuracy. Laser interferometers allow measurements to be taken with incredible precision, avoiding even the small errors that can occur with traditional dental measurement methods. Non-contact - one of the main advantages of laser interferometers is their ability to carry out measurements without contact with patient tissue. This minimizes discomfort for the patient and avoids the risk of infection or tissue damage. The speed and efficiency of laser interferometers can significantly speed up the diagnostic and prosthetic fabrication processes in prosthetic dentistry, making procedures more efficient and cost-effective. These devices allow for detailed analysis of the micro- and macrostructure of teeth, which is important for the precise manufacture of dentures and bite correction. The use of laser interferometers opens up innovation for the research of new diagnostic methods in dentistry, which can lead to the development of more effective and new approaches to the treatment and rehabilitation of patients.
