Raman spectroscopy of saliva as a perspective method for periodontitis diagnostics

摘要

In view of its potential for biological tissues analyses at a molecular level, Raman spectroscopy in optical range has been the object of biomedical research for the last years. The main aim of this work is the development of Raman spectroscopy for organic content identifying and determination of biomarkers of saliva at a molecular level for periodontitis diagnostics. Four spectral regions were determined: 1155 and 1525 cm~(-1), 1033 and 1611 cm~(-1), which can be used as biomarkers of this widespread disease.
