APPLICATION OF LASER PHOTONICS METHODS IN ORTHOPEDIC DENTISTRY FOR NON-INVASIVE NON-CONTACT EXAMINATION OF BULK MICRO-DEFORMATIONS OF BONE TISSUE

Abstract

Modern methods of laser photonics, which make it possible to measure the dynamics of micro-deformations of volumetric objects without contact and with high sensitivity, find increasing application in a wide variety of fields. Particularly attractive is the use of such a delicate, non-perturbing technique in medicine. The article reports on experiments using laser photonics methods in dental implantology, which allowed to give practical medical recommendations. In the work, a study was made of the possibilities of holographic and speckle interferometry methods for measuring the deformation of the jaw bone tissue with a step-by-step installation of cylindrical and conical mini implants. The possibility of determining the relaxation time of deformations after the installation of mini implants was demonstrated. The purpose of this work is to justify the possibility and feasibility of using laser photonics  to solve this medical problem.
