Raman Spectroscopy: Application in Periodontal and Oral Regenerative Surgery for Bone Evaluation

ConclusionsThe spectra intensity variation related to the specific bone constituents' concentrations, before and after healing, is reflecting the rate of the healing process mostly by the changes that occurred for the calcified tissues. Moreover, the bone sample fluorescence is related to the collagen content, enabling the quantification of healing process.Clinical relevanceTherefore, since a complete evaluation of the processed spectra offers quantitative information for bone samples, Raman spectroscopy can be considered a viable investigation method (even forensics) for periodontal disease and bone quality assessment.Graphical abstract
