Feasibility Testing of a Novel Endoscope for Reflectance Confocal Microscopy of Normal Oral Tissue In Vivo
Status: Completed
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
The purpose of this study is to obtain images (pictures) of normal oral tissue, which occur inside the mouth, using a special camera. These pictures will be used in our research to evaluate a new technology that uses a laser and takes pictures of the microscopic structure of tissue. The technology is called reflectance confocal microscopy.
