BLOOD FLOW MEASUREMENT IN DENTISTRY AND LASER DOPPLER FLOWMETRY

Abstract

Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) is a technique on measurement of Doppler shift formed in the frequency of radiation that is reflected by a moving object. It has been first used in medical science in 1972 and is commonly being used in dentistry in the recent years. This technique, with an optic probe carrying low power monochromatic laser ray, allows measurement of tissue blood flow in a non invasiv and continuous manner.
