Development of raman biomarkers of oral health****

WinTerra Global Technologies （WinTerra）专注于通过提供新的工具来改善医生和患者的牙科检查体验，这些工具可以提高实践的生产力和资源利用率，并减少患者体验的负面影响。为了实现这一目标，WinTerra正在开发新的牙齿探测技术，以提高牙周检查的诊断能力。目前的技术只能报告口袋深度，这与口袋健康没有密切的关系。通过增加口袋健康（如炎症）的更好的相关性，人们可以更早地开始治疗，并为患者提供更好的结果。** **龈沟液（GCF）是人类牙龈中液体的实时来源，在任何时间点与血液成分（包括炎症标志物）密切相关。该项目将由WinTerra和Carleton合作，将探索使用先进的光子技术检测CGF中重要的健康生物标志物的方法，以改善口腔健康评估。**

WinTerra Global Technologies (WinTerra) is focused on improving the dental examination experience for both the practitioner and the patient by offering new tools that improve productivity and resource usage for the practice and reduce the negativity of the experience for the patient. To this goal, WinTerra is developing new dental probing technology to enhance the diagnostic capabilities of the periodontal exam. Current technology can only report pocket depth which does not closely correlate with pocket health. By adding better correlates of pocket health (like inflammation) one could initiate earlier treatment and provide better outcomes for patients. ** **Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) is a real time source of fluids in human gum that is well correlated with blood composition, including inflammation markers, at any point in time. This project will be a collaboration between WinTerra and Carleton that will explore means of detection important biomarkers of health in the CGF using advanced photonic technologies to improve oral health assessment. **
