ASSESSING THE CLINICAL UTILITY OF ULTRASOUND DOPPLEROGRAPHY IN THE DIAGNOSTIC PROTOCOLS FOR PERIODONTAL DISORDERS
Keywords:
To analyze the integral parameters of USDG through Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to enhance the diagnostic precision in patients with chronic periodontitis.Abstract
Periodontal diseases represent a significant healthcare challenge, where microcirculatory changes play a decisive role in pathogenesis. Monitoring the microvascular bed is essential for detecting early metabolic shifts and inflammatory responses. While Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) is a traditional tool, its clinical utility is hindered by high costs and sensitivity to operator technique. Ultrasound Dopplerography (USDG) emerges as a cost-effective, non-invasive alternative providing precise diagnostic data even in asymptomatic cases.
