| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to develop a method to quantitatively evaluate the scar of the palate by applying a speckle phenomenon that is observed by irradiating the tissue with a laser beam. First we manufactured a prototypic device and confirmed that we could observe the speckle pattern. Subsequently, the device was modified in consideration for size and shape that we could apply to an intraoral measurement. Finally, the laser speckle flowgraphy was made by improvement such as changing the wavelength of the laser to the infrared of 980nm.
