Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a modern, highly accurate, non-invasive study of various eye structures. OCT is a non-contact method that allows a specialist to visualize eye tissue with a very high resolution (1–15 microns), the accuracy of which is comparable to microscopic examination. The theoretical foundations of the OCT method were developed in 1995 by the American ophthalmologist K. Pulafito, and already in 1996–1997 Carl Zeiss Meditec introduced the first device for optical coherence tomography into clinical practice. Today, OCT devices are used to diagnose various diseases of the fundus and anterior segment of the eye. Due to the maximum accuracy, the method of light scanning greatly simplifies the diagnosis of pathologies of the organs of vision, regardless of the cause of their occurrence and the stage of the course. In terms of information content, the technique is not inferior to histology, but the advantage of OCT is the absence of the risk of injury to the eye tissues [1, 2].

ABSTRACT Innovative technique has been introduced in the field of dentistry for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment. Technologies like laser, composite curing techniques, optical imaging have been utilized in the field of dentistry. OCT(optical coherence tomography) is a recent. technique which creates cross-sectional high resolution images. SS-OCT(Swept -Source optical coherence tomography) is a variant of optical coherence tomography, which provides instant imaging with high resolution, non-invasive and ease of handling. This article provides a overview of Swept -Source OCT and its application in the field of dentistry.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the anterior segment, in particular corneal OCT, has become a reliable tool for the cornea specialist, as it provides the acquisition of digital images at high resolution with a noncontact technology. In penetrating or lamellar keratoplasties, OCT can be used to assess central corneal thickness and pachymetry maps, as well as precise measurements of deep stromal opacities, thereby guiding the surgeon to choose the best treatment option. OCT has also been used to evaluate the keratoplasty postoperative period, for early identification of possible complications, such as secondary glaucoma or donor disc detachments in endothelial keratoplasties. Intraoperatively, OCT can be used to assess stromal bed regularity and transparency in anterior lamellar surgeries, especially for those techniques in which a bare Descemet’s membrane is the goal. The purpose of this paper is to review and discuss the role of OCT as a diagnostic tool in various types of keratoplasties.
