ABSTRACT:
Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) is a method of measuring blood flow in tissues. Periodontal tissues in health and disease, as well as peri-implant mucosa, have microcirculation which can be easily monitored by LDF. So LDF can be used as an additional diagnostic tool for evaluation of gingival health or inflammatory diseases. The changes in blood flow can provide additional data for detailed and personalized treatment approaches for patients with periodontitis, implant placement procedures and mucogingival surgeries. This review is focused on the working principles and application of LDF in periodontal practice, the advantages, disadvantages and its limitations.
