Development and proposal of evaluation method of oral mucosal damages based on the degree of injuries and atrophy of oral mucosa and saliva properties

基于对口腔黏膜损伤和萎缩程度的评估，为预防老年人口腔问题和癌症治疗的副作用，建立了新的口腔黏膜诊断方法和预防治疗体系。为此，我们利用超声传感技术建立了口腔粘膜触觉诊断装置。利用该装置与传统的口腔环境评价系统，分析口腔黏膜损伤的症状，为临床应用提供客观的口腔黏膜损伤评价。在此基础上，探讨了维持口腔黏膜健康的综合管理方案。

Novel diagnostic method and preventive treatment system of oral mucosa had been developed based upon the evaluation of the degree of injury and atrophy, to prevent oral problems of the elderly and side effects of cancer treatment. For this purpose, we established the haptic diagnostic devices of oral mucosa with the technology of ultrasound sensing. Using this device and conventional evaluation systems of oral environment, we analyzed the symptoms of injured oral mucosa, and objective estimation of damage on oral mucosa had advanced to utilize for the clinical applications. Based upon these results, total management plans to maintain the health of oral mucosa were discussed.
