Resumo
The inner structure of teeth, i.e. the root canal anatomy, is very complex. However a good knowledge of endodontic
architecture is the first step towards successful endodontic treatment. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a
powerful technique to generate images of hard and soft tissue. Its images show dependency on the optical properties of
the tissue under analysis. Changes in the scattering and absorption of tissues can be observed through the OCT images.
In this work, we used optical coherence tomography to perform in vitro studies of the inner structure of the first molar
of albino rats (Rattus norvegicus). Focusing on the pulp chamber and in the root canal, we compare the images
generated with the OCT technique to the histology. We are analyzing the feasibility of OCT to help on the diagnostic of
endodontic diseases.
