The oral cavity may suffer from diseases and lesions of different natures that can result in changes to the underlying microvasculature. These changes are typically observed during the examination of biopsy samples, but there is still a need to investigate methods for characterizing them in live tissues. Capillaroscopy, a medical imaging technique using polarized light and magnification, has shown promise in providing enhanced imaging of the oral mucosa microvasculature in preliminary studies. The present work proposed to review the literature on what capillaroscopy is, its applications in the imaging of oral mucosa microvasculature, and its diagnostic and prognostic significance in various diseases and conditions. While there is the limited literature available, further research in oral capillaroscopy, particularly in the field of oral oncology, is needed to determine its potential benefits in diagnosing and predicting outcomes for potentially malignant oral disorders and cancers.
口腔可能遭受不同性质的疾病和病变，这些疾病和病变可导致其下方微血管系统发生变化。这些变化通常在活检样本检查中被观察到，但仍需研究在活体组织中表征这些变化的方法。毛细血管镜检查是一种利用偏振光和放大技术的医学成像技术，初步研究显示其在增强口腔黏膜微血管成像方面具有潜力。本研究旨在综述有关毛细血管镜检查的定义、其在口腔黏膜微血管成像中的应用，以及其在各种疾病和状况中的诊断和预后意义的文献。尽管现有文献有限，但口腔毛细血管镜检查，特别是在口腔肿瘤学领域，需要进一步研究，以确定其在诊断和预测潜在恶性口腔疾病和癌症结果方面的潜在益处。
