Study Summary

This trial is looking to develop better ways of detecting, diagnosing and measuring oral diseases and structures using light and optical approaches.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18, both smokers and non-smokers, with various oral conditions like dry mouth, gum disease, or lesions. It's also open to healthy individuals as controls. People under 18, those with advanced gum disease or untreated cavities, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and immune-compromised individuals cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to develop a new non-invasive method using light-based technologies to detect and diagnose oral diseases. Techniques include Coherence Tomography, Laser Speckle Imaging, Spectroscopy and Fluorescence compared against traditional clinical evaluations.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve non-invasive imaging techniques without radiation exposure or physical intrusion into the body tissues there are no significant side effects expected from participating in this trial.
